Was watching CNN off and on..Those people get giddy explaining what
could happen. They almost seem to will greater destruction.

I never could understand the idea Of broadcasting while standing out in
the storm waiting to be blown over by high winds and rain. Not to smart imo.
Oh yeah, drama. Don't forget the drama...

It's part of the job of being a general news reporter.


One of the job requirements then seems to be idiocy.


There's nothing new about reporters going on in storms to do their jobs.

Be idiot enough to stand in a hurricane force wind for a photo op. Get s
stop sign in the body. Get a tree branch stuck in you. At leas the ABC
guy was smart enough to broadcast from a building protected area. Was his
reporting less because he did not stand in a wind tunnel?


It's funny watching the CNN folks talking about how dangerous it is while standing in the middle of
a street, or walking through water and then telling folks not to do it because of nails in boards,
etc. Pure dumb.

Must have taken lessons from Geraldo, who I believe had someone holding a fan next to his head any
time he was on the air.

CNN is an entertainment venue. Any reportage that resembles actual
facts is purely coincidental. Harry would be a good CNN reporter
if he was more photogenic and they had lenses wide enough to
capture his physique.
