WHERE ARE THE DRUGS?

Sasha Mohammed over at TV6, your special report on the "drugs drop caught on tape" was anticlimactic.

For one thing, it was shot in the dark, so we really didn't see the actual drop off or pick up. But thanks for trying to describe it.
Then there were so many different graphics all over the screen that while we tried reading them, we also had to try listening to you, and we couldn't do both.
Then your editor used a feature that made it seem as if the video was jumping off the screen when the graphic bar to the right was removed. Very distracting.
And at the end of your story we heard a piece of music. Very faint. We are guessing you were going for a particular effect, but we couldn't hear the lyrics so it was lost on us.
Tsk tsk. Could have been a winner if only...
Oh and BTW, it's best to wear flat shoes when trekking through the bush looking for drugs.
