1. They should be. This could be loss of life of epic proportion.
In this case they will be doing their fucking job for a change.

5. Have to say that NO ONE is more dramatic on these storms than...
Jim Cantore on the Weather Channel.

Yes, the MSM will be on this for days and weeks, but unlike missing blondes or spats amongst the spoiled, this is a potential life loss, deadly serious situation, and we should all be ready to provide aid in any way we can....

6. Look for this and it will clue you in.
If the MSM drama queens DO NOT send their big guns down there, then you will know how bad it really is... I don't expect to see any of their "talent" down there..

9. Yes, it is important for the MSM to be all over Katrina
This is a monster storm and there is going to be tremendous loss of lives and property. The whole city could be wiped out.

Edited on Sun Aug-28-05 10:51 AM by OneTwentyoNine
Wonder if its going to swing just a little left of New Orleans?? Still a massive storm even if it doesn't go directly over the top. Talk about a "well defined eye" Whew....

11. The 'eye wall' is going to hit close enough...

12. And your point is???
This is one of only three category 5 hurricanes to hit the US in modern history. It has sustained winds of 161 mph, an enormous storm surge and is about to hit a city of 500,000 people that is below sea level.

You have a PROBLEM with the media covering this??
