Well, reporting from an overpass w/hundreds of stranded, and some now dying! refugees, w/officials within eyeshot, but inexplicably ignoring them, just may do that to a person, IMO.

In human terms, it's known as frustration and desperation.

That was not reporting, it was Shep's personal meltdown yesterday. Someone needs to get him off camera till he can get perspective on his reason for being there.

His words are a cancer being injected into a very sick body right now.

To the thread poster, I don't have a problem with the dead bodies being shown. As someone else said, the news is the news. We don't need to see them over and over and over and over but not to see the cost of this in lives is sanitizing the event.

Shep was losing it last night because he should be! How these people can be stranded that long with no food, no water, no information, little security makes me sick. I don't care what color they are, how long they've been on welfare, how fat they are (as someone commented on another post.) These are AMERICANS just like you. You are just bitching at Shep for pointing out what hurts your eyes and soul...don't shoot the messanger.

Yeah I seen him confront a cop yesterday and ask why they are not doing more to help. The coverage is trash tv at it's finest.

I have NEVER liked Shep, but these last 2 days leave me nearly speechless. He was awful yesterday, and today I've just stayed away from the tv after this a.m.

Shep and Geraldo are both loosing it...
Did anyone see them crying on O'Reilly factor last night. O'Reilly could not get a word in to give some perspective to the situation.
Fox should send some professionals to report on New Orleans.
Shep and Geraldo need some sleep and do a little reading-
Psalms 94:1-23
