Was it really necessary for the Sky News channel to show extended live footage of Drummer Lee Rigby's family viewing the place of his death and the tribute flowers?
It seemed incredibly intrusive and disrespectful and I am not surprised that the family were too distressed to give out a statement.
Sometimes the media should know when to stand back.

Girlfriend/fiancee turns up at the scene one day.
Wife turns up the next..its not a bloody competition!
Should be about Lee & the horrendous crime not the flaming women
It wasn't the media that put them in front of a press conference it was the MOD, they are the ones using the family.
What the **** are you talking about?
I was watching Sky News earlier today, when this happened.

Now, I get that we all make mistakes in the heat of the moment, but this was not exactly a hard hitting story, and it's like she forgot her journalistic training, and the fact that she's not a partisan network anchor in the US.
Surely it's time to move this woman, who's far from a pleasant character anyway, off of our screens, and replaced with someone infinitely more qualified to do the job?

They might have wanted to speak to the media and it was felt best to do at a press conference on condition the press keep away from their home.
Today.

I have seen it on sky news today thank you
Last week some idiots on facebook, were saying lee rigby killers did not kill him it was a government frame up they also said 911 and 77 were set up by the governments and any terrorist attacks done by muslims were done british and us government setups, what silly idiot thinking that ,they said that us and uk government want to rule the world:eek:
They said the blood on the killers hands was digitally put on
There will be people who believe such conspiracy theories. No doubt.
Here's a video on youtube of summary debunking the conspiracy theory
was the attack a hoax debunked video
There was always blood on their hands. The fuss over that came from one news report where they had turned the colour up on the video, making the blood stand out more. Whether they did it on purpose for that reason, who knows, but the guys always had blood on their hands.
