This is a joke, right?

I'm not entirely sure why I've never heard this before, and my utter disbelief and horror in this story is not because I was unaware of the BBC's completely leftist perspective. But, honestly, a reporter cried over Arafat?

Let's review some of the momentous and highly appropriate situations in which reporters cried:
1. The Hindenburg disaster
2. 9/11

I don't think we need to go on any further to say crying over "the frail man [Arafat]" belongs nowhere on that list.

Naturally, the station has given her the symbolic slap on the wrist by "sanctioning" her. Now if only they could add "firing," or "dropping her sorry carcas," I might be satisfied.
