24/7 news coverage
can seem excessive on a normal day. On the day before an election, the
never-ending analyses, interviews and hypothesising pose an especially
gruelling spectacle. At least that is the sort of standard content provided by
British news channels. In America, however, some rather more creative methods
are utilised to catch and keep the viewer’s attention.
Today on Fox News, a group of children were invited on set and given the
opportunity to contribute to the momentous occasion. As one would imagine, the
discussion was pertinent, such as when they were asked to raise their hands if
they wanted to be President of the United States one day.
One girl said that she would vote for Trump because he seemed “a nice man who
is nice to people”. My heart goes out to one of so few years, whose experience
of our race so far has been dire enough to make Trump stand out for his genial
ways.
The ostensibly youngest boy voiced his approval of Trump’s vow to build a wall.
“We need to finish what we started”, he stated. I'm not entirely sure what that
meant, but it had an oddly chilling effect.
The final interviewee completely bottled his moment and said something
unintelligible to man.
This went on for about 30 minutes and was relatively amusing, if for the wrong
reasons. Still, sometimes serious occasions can offer entertainment. If this
election has taught us anything, it is certainly that.
