Anyone see BBC World News last night? Graphic and honest |
|
A BBC reporter was in a boat cruising some neighborhood, and came across a house with 6 kids. A 6 year girl said their Momma was on oxygen (which she could hardly pronounce), and they didn't have any more. The cameraman went to the bedroom and there was the dead mother sprawled on the bed.
They took the 6 orphaned children into the boat. They wondered why no one had been in this area. They showed floating bodies, and the reporter continued to dump on bush and the whole rescue effort.
The BBC is great.

Dang, I think the media in the area have done more for the people in need there than Our Great Pretzeldent has! I've seen so many media people lending their cell phones so people can call out, flagging down help for them, asking the ones who decided to just walk out of NOLA if they needed anything, etc. But the guy who is SUPPOSED to be the leader of this country --- pfftttthhhh!

12. We Need The American People To See This.... |
|
and what about the account by the Germans of the photo op session with * and a food distribution point. When the photo's were shot - they closed the food distribution point. If that is on video - we need that to be shown to the American people too.
