Tonight's Word: Repugnant
The jubilation I expressed in my last post sure didn't last long.
I had written about the father and his kids that were lost in the Northern California woods. The family had been found safe and alive.
It was a satisfying story with a cheerful ending. Those seem kind of rare nowadays.
Think I'm wrong? Take tonight's 11pm newscast as proof.
In our first block of tonight's 11pm newscast, we had three stories that dealt with the subject of sexual assault.
Prosecutors in Baltimore have charged a rabbi with sexually abusing two young boys during bar mitzvah lessons. While the alleged abuse dates back to 1988 and 1994, obviously, the alleged abuses have so damaged these people that they were finally able to bring charges forth in 2007.
Going down to the state of Virginia, a piano teacher is being accused of sexually assaulting one of his students.
Completing our sickening excursion in the DC Metro area is a case out of the District of Columbia. A DC police officer is facing federal charges after being accused of exchanging text messages in an attempt to entice a minor.
I have to finish prepping the 11pm newscast, so I can’t get into too many details at this time. Tune into 9 News Now at 11pm for full details and you'll understand where I'm coming from in terms of tonight's "word."
One last thing…as I write this, my producer killed the Virginia story in the rundown. She cited that there were too many sexual assault stories in the line up.
I totally agree with her.
