How the fuck do they feel it's appropriate to work in a promo line about their HD cameras in a story about a dead guy in his car? As a follow up to this breaking news story please see sig.

'CBS2 HD' is the station's ID/name, not the 'promo line'
before going HD it would have been "... filmed by CBS 2 cameras..." or WCBS Cameras, same thing.
but newsroom people in general can be pretty jaded from looking at gory shit all day long so to you and me it may seem tacky but they are in the news life 24/7, it never goes off. It's a whole lifestyle. And also it's a state of mind and the need to develop a thick skin to not get overwhelmed by emotions they come in contact with on a daily basis.
The 'breaking news' thing is typical for anyone who works in the tv business, friend reporters do it to me over IM all the time, it's so weird... that and TYPE IN ALL CAPS IN NARROW COLUMNS JUST LIKE TELEPROMPTER SCRIPT
