Hurricane Madness on CNN

[SeaNap05]

I live on the North Carolina coast, I understand the devastation of hurricanes. I even understand the importance of the news coverage, but CNN has gone on a hurricane frenzy. They sent Anderson Cooper to New Orleans and now he can't get enough. He gone Hurricane Nutty. The coverage seems excessive. On CNN, you see it a 5 then 7 then 9 and back at 10 covering the same news, all day. The images are all the same. They film a sign and just sit there until it falls off from the wind and then Anderson says: "WOW!!! DID YOU SEE THAT SIGN" "FOLKS IT IS THE END OF THE WORLD"

They ask people the same stupid questions, "Why didn't you leave" The disaster is horrible I have been through several but the coverage seems insane to me at time.

I'd like some Scootergate!

1. Distraction... plain and simple.

REAL news is no longer televised by the MSM, unless of coarse they catch a Dem.

2. I wish the person they ask that assinine question to would retort

"Me?! Why are YOU here?!

We are going to find a journalist driven through a telephone pole like a piece of straw one of these days.

3. Anderson

Anderson Copper is moving to Florida preparing for Next Year. This time he wants to really live it.

4. "... driven through a telephone pole ..."

Funny! They always stand out in it, and tell viewers to stay inside!

6. Yeah, "Don't do this at home, I'm a professional"

Like being a journalist makes them immune.

7. we here in SW Florida who have endured this awful storm can't

even see it on CNN. No one has any power, no one has any cable....I am thankful we have a generator and our phone is working so I can dial-up and get some news online, but really not much on the liberal sites about the weather (oh happy Fitzmas is coming), though it was sad to read that Rosa Parks had died....an American hero. Please give a lot of details tomorrow about indictments for those of us who can't watch on the tube.

8. That's what they always do here, in Los Angeles. If there is enough

moisture in the air to call it rain, it's "Storm Watch 9, film at 11"
and 24/7 they show a talking head standing next to the intersection in the valley that always floods. If the road department ever fixes that catch basin, they'll have to find a new place to send all those news vans during the next Storm Of The Century.
When it isn't the horror of rain in Southern California, it's the fires.
