WHAT IS THE SUBJECT?

Still on the subject of Picton, Natalie Briggs of C News also did a story on that subject. But unlike Miss Persad's cameraman who got some really interesting, steady shots, Miss Briggs' cameraman got only shaky shots of the area.
At first we thought he forgot his tripod at the office, or even that he was afraid to put the camera on the tripod too long lest he also become a victim of the gangs.
But alas, while he was taking a shot of some policemen, what did we see in the shot but the solitary tripod.
Steups!

Miss Briggs, we've said it before and we'll say it again.
It's your story and you need to demand that the cameraman use the resources he has been provided with in order to provide you with the best possible pictures for your story. We can address you, but obviously he will remain nameless since you did not provide us with a super for your cameraman.
Get it right man!
We have no idea what you said in your story because we were distracted by what we thought was your cameraman trying to get some shots while an earthquake was in progress. So in our estimation, and you should consider this as well, you wasted your time going on that assignment.
