Rescued Woman Goes Off On CNN For Hurricane Harvey Coverage
Daily Caller ^

Posted on 08/29/2017 12:33:12 PM PDT by Bigtigermike

The CNN correspondent continued to ask questions and touch the mother’s arm as she and her daughter were crying.

“We walked through four feet of water to get food on the first day,” the mother said, clearly annoyed at this point. “Yeah, that’s a lot of sh*t.”

“But y’all sit here, y’all trying to interview people during their worst times — like that’s not the smartest thing to do. Like people are really breaking down and y’all sitting here with cameras and microphones trying to ask us what the f*ck is wrong with us,” she continued.

“And you really trying to understand with the microphone still in my face? With me shivering cold, with my kids wet, and you still putting the microphone in my face.”

“And you really trying to understand with the microphone still in my face? With me shivering cold, with my kids wet, and you still putting the microphone in my face.”

That's because the reporter really isn't trying to understand or sympathize. The reporter just wants grist for the news mill. The reporter doesn't give a s___t about the mother and her cold, shivering, wet kids. The reporter just wants to make a name for herself as the one who got the story in the middle of a crisis. I'm surprised the first question wasn't an attempt to get the mother to blame Trump for something.

I’ve watched many interviews with rescuees on the local news. Most are co-operative or signal that they don’t want to be interviewed, unlike this rude person.

unlike this rude person.

Better walk a mile in her shoes before saying that. If I have seen anyone acting rude lately, its the press.

That is exactly what CNN is doing. They’re trolling all the shelters etc, hoping to find someone, anyone to say something bad about Trump.

CNN is just disgusting

Reminds me of a comedy routine that Sam Kinison did in the late 1980s about a film crew filming a hungry child in Africa: "The producer could have handed him a sandwich."
