The internet and the TV viewers who saw the broadcast have criticised the UK morning talk show Good Morning Britain for going ahead with a pre-booked Mariah Carey interview in the wake of yesterday Las Vegas massacre.
At least 59 people were confirmed killed, and more than 500 injured, after a lone gunman opened fire at a crowd during a country music festival in Las Vegas, Nevada. It’s reportedly the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history.
The tragic news has dominated every news and talk show broadcasts, but Good Morning Britain still conducted a pre-arranged live interview with singer Mariah Carey, who was shown reclining on a sofa in front of a Christmas tree to promote her upcoming UK Christmas shows.
On Twitter, viewers pointed out that the interview’s set-up felt “inappropriate” in light of the tragic events in Las Vegas.
People dying....Mariah Carey feeling sorry for them whilst lying like a diva on a chaise lounge... #GMB

@GMB Terrible events in Las Vegas. Let's get the views of Mariah Carey in front of a Christmas tree! Irrelevant and inappropriate. #getagrip
