Disappointed by network TV....
Advertisements [?]
I get eight television stations over the air because
I refuse to pay for cable. This morning there wasn't
a single channel reporting on the disaster. One station
had a "donate" ticker running at the bottom of the screen.

I do have cable internet access and have been following the disaster
via DU and the WWL feed.

Many people in my area probably can't afford cable TV.
It worries me that they don't understand the extent of
the tragedy. The six minutes they see on the nightly
news just can't do it justice.

I think many people across the country may not have
a clue as to the true extent of the disaster.
