WTW? There is no need for CNN to show the scenes with people continually

screaming in pain and fear after the bombing at the Brussel's airport. It is just a video of smoke filled airport and all you can hear is the screams of the people. Where is the journalistic compassion for their relatives and friends and even the world?

I get so damned sick and tired of reading posts from people who think that every word that ends with an S should have an apostrophe precede that S.

Apostrophes are used to indicate a contraction or possession. Brussels is spelled Brussels. It is not a contraction, nor is it a word that indicates possession.

Rant off.

NBC played a clip with screaming children for hours. I didn't watch as much CNN, but I'm sure it was just as awful.
