CNN Reporter Laughs At Japan Tsunami
Appartantly a CNN reporter by the name of Rosemary Church laughed live on air with regards to the recent Tsunami that struck Japan this morning. She seemed to have a good giggle about her Twitter being “flooded with tweets” about the Tsunami which she found rather amusing. Sick puppy that one…
The backlash is quite hectic on twitter with people calling for her resignation and CNN have pulled her off the air with immediate effect. I don’t know if that is a permanent move but eish, that lady is not going to be very well liked after this! Somehow I don’t think a little public apology is going to save your career after this one Rose.
What a shame. She was a pretty betty. Oh well.
If you want to follow the lovely, now probably unemployed, Rosemary Church, you can simply click here to throw abuse her way!
I posted a live stream of the Earthquake/Tsunami earlier.

This is bullshit. Like you’re required to have a certain reaction to a situation that’s completely out of control.
She’s laughing at it because her brain is going haywire at a sight that’s far beyond her capability to process.
I can appreciate that she can’t comprehend what is happening, but she is laughing at a lame joke. Now that she can understand and should have the ability to control. Seriously not cool I rate!
This actually makes me laugh. People are so sensitive, we all laugh in awkward situations, why fire her! haha
I don’t think she has been fired, just taken off air for a while :P I still think it was lank insensitive of her and shouldn’t have been done, but I gotta agree that people take far too much too seriously!
She laughed while reporting on one of the worst natural disasters mankind has ever seen. This is one of the most powerful earthquakes to ever strike a densely populated region. It’s the fifth most powerful earthquake to strike that region in the history of scientists recording earthquakes. The 8.9 magnitude earthquake was followed by 7.1 magnitude aftershocks, which were stronger than the earthquake which floored Haiti.
If you are a carbon-based biped you should be shocked by this, and if you are not professional enough to keep a straight face whilst reporting this news then you should not be a news reporter.
Did Walter Cronkite laugh when reporting the Kennedy Assasination?
Rosemary’s the product of a “news as entertainment” industry where all – especially those on morning programming – are supposed to behave as though they’re having the time of their lives reporting the news. Probably has something to do with some “market testing” meant to draw eyeballs that said people are more likely to tune into those who appear to be having fun.
I haven’t seen a clip, but if it’s as people are reporting then Rosemary behaved in a wholly inappropriate manner. There’s no defense for insensitivity no matter the situation.
DO you actually have footage of this happening? Because so far, examination of the actual footage of Rosemary Church hasn’t shown such an event happening. In fact, the source appears to be from a blogger who was promoting Al-Jazeera at the expense of CNN.
Of course if you don’t have footage, at least you saw it yourself, right? You wouldn’t be just repeating what some blogger said without confirming the information, and using that information to spawn an internet witch hunt, right? Right?
