mangy1983 51 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) Did anybody see the tv program the Wright Stuff on channel 5 on the 6th December? The programs host and panel were making joke upon joke over the death of a 16 year old boy on the Isle of Lewis and the way they casually read the article and joked about it was pretty horrendous. They did not treat the article with the seriousness it deserved and just treated it as if it was a big joke to them. Edited as l just found a video of it on YouTube as seen below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRGZwHLRVsA&feature=youtu.be cheers Callum Edited December 7, 2011 by mangy1983 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lapin2008 1,587 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Agree with you mate totally inappropriate if they are gonna do a news round up it needs to be done in a somber fashion. If they want to do jokes they should pick light hearted subjects to discuss Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 tbh he didnt really insult the lad as such.but i understand why folk would think it a bit inapproriate.he made a wee jibe at maddie mcaan other day aswell.i actually like him and although i dont agree with everything he says,he does speak sense.its a live show and old wrighty can get a bit carried away.

kenny14 656 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 I haven't watched it but my opinion on this sort of thing has always been that any death, especially an untimely one, is always a serious matter, and when being reported on the news, the reporter should never forget that person will have been a loved one of someone who may be watching/listening. It's easy to make or laugh at jokes about people you don't know, but it should be remembered that those jokes can and do hurt and offend. A little sensitivity doesn't go amiss at times like that.

scothunter 12,609 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 get your point kenny,and if that happened on news at ten i would agree.however wrightys show is a light hearted topic show that touches briefly on the days news stories.he didnt actually slag the lad personally.but yes he could have been more tactfull.

mangy1983 51 Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 I have watched the segment a few times, at first l thought why were people getting annoyed by it but the more l watch it the more l think he should have stuck with the news story and not gone off on a tangent. There's a big campaign through the Hebrides at the moment to have the program pulled or at least to get a personal apology froj him to Liam's family neither of which l think will be successful because The Wright Stuff hasn't been renewed for next year. cheers Callum Quote Link to post Share on other sites
