As Sheryl Crowe belted out the American national anthem right before the Democratic National Debate, all of the potential candidates and everyone who was able in the audience stood out of respect of our flag and country.
But in the back rooms, hidden away from the limelight of the cameras, dozens and dozens of journalists stared blankly at their computer screens as our nation's anthem played throughout.
While a tiny minority of the journalists chose to stand out of respect for our country, the vast majority didn't even seem to notice the blatant amount of disrespect they were showing to our country.
The issue actually came up for debate: Should these journalists be called out for their uncaring nature? Some people believe that you shouldn't have to stand for the singing of the national anthem if it isn't being performed live. Others say that if you're watching it on TV, even in a very public setting ,you should still always stand up out of respect for the United States.
While a few people have come to the defense of these reporters, most everyone seems to be agreeing that they should have known better, especially at an event as important as a national debate. Either way, we should give a deserving hat tip to the few who actually did decide to stand up and do the right thing!
