What our sailors are doing aboard the Vinson
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8469058.stm

Why I call CNN Disaster Porn, and why I said Gupta is full of it when he said there are no Intensive Care Units in the zone.

And another story that ended right

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8469290.stm?ls

And distribution of goods

5. I know it is like they are doing ... news
shocking...

They also have on their site a great link to a basic primer on disaster response... I did put it up here, the link that is...

Yeah I know they are repeating all that some of us have. But perhaps it is on an actual news site...

6. I've been watching several stations including BBC
As usual they are light years ahead of US cable.

7. Well you have BBC
we sort of have it here...

But CNN is also going on an agenda, and have been quite schizophrenic about it. One second they tell us that the good doctor performed brain surgery on the Vinson... (and put their spin on it... neuro surgeons unfortunately are not a priority in these messes)... and the next that there are absolutely NO ICUs set like anywhere. I sent a nasty gram to CNN yesterday scalding them AGAIN.

9. Isn't it sad that we have to get this type of factual news from
the BBC?

Great Links my friend.
