This morning, I saw a CNN Headline News anchor nearly lose it after introducing this story. Has anyone seen any other anchors nearly break down & cry after reporting about the tsunami?

Yea i've seen it happen a couple of times but i always imagine that when they go to commercials the guy's face returns to normal, his assistants start clapping on the performance and he comes back to normal after the commercial and continues his stuff. I simply cant imagine a news anchor crying for real, they announce negative stuffs all year long.

Exactly like here:

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
Yeah, who would get emotional about 100,000 people dying?

I guess when the numbers start to become that staggering, it's really easy to lose focus on the magnitude of the whole thing.
 
The Daily Show's ep after they came back from break, when 9/11 occurred was a genuine moment where Stewart really broke down.

It's strange that the show that doesn't care about professionalism, and has no qualms with poking fun at current events can be the most sincere out of all of them.
