So the media is evil for not showing the 9/11 bodies, but the media is evil for showing a New Orleans body?
Shep has been over the top lately. There are aid agencies in N.O. but per Shep no one is N.O.
I wondered if I was the only one noticing what a jerk he has become.
Like nobody died? The body was in the distance and covered with a blanket. Go watch the Cartoon Network. This is real.
Sure, we expect professionalism in the news, but exposing someone to that level of devastation, for that long, top it with the guilt he must feel, knowing he can leave and go home and resume his life, and I think Shep is holding up remarkably well.
They should be showing plenty of bodies. What is wrong with you. Dont you think the tens of thousands of dead should be known?
Shep is a monumental arsehole with a gigantic outsized ego and sense of self importance. In short, he is a disgusting individual
Shep has more excuses for criminal underclass looters than Carter has liver pills.
I'm been through hurricanes - and so have all the people I've know. I went to a wedding last year where people sat around and swapped stories about what they had been through but no one, and I repeat, on one, talked about looting a store, or shooting at people trying to help them. And it wasn't easy in Florida last year.
The people in New Orleans are acting like criminals. And they started acting that way as soon as the disaster started. They were looking for an excuse to loot and cause mayhem. It wasn't the other way around.
We need to rethink the underclass. And how we deal with them. I'm tired of giving them "disability" -- the new welfare. They might respect property more if they had to work for it every now and then. And Shep? He needs to get real...
Shep has been complaining for three days now about all these people that have moved to higher ground and then just wander around aimlessly without food or water. No one is communicating with them. I can't believe the guys in charge can't figure out a way to drop in food and water to these people.
You're kidding, aren't you?
I've always disliked that yahoo.
You're kidding, aren't you?
It sure seems like he fills the bill when it comes to describing the Southern Peacock.
You're watching alarmist news, it's all over cable.
Disagree completely. He's frustrated by the response of the authorities in charge. He's using the only tool he's got.
He's been on the verge of tears a couple of times.
He's been caught up in this too. It's not like he's reporting, and then heading to the Hyatt when its all done. He's pretty much stuck like everyone else.
I have three kids, and I can't IMAGINE trying to keep three kids up and having to wait FOUR DAYS for someone to finally find their ass with both hands and exert some leadership.
I think he's shown amazing restraint, because I'd be SCREAMING at people if I were in his shoes.
The reason why he showed the body is because the person waited on the overpass for someone to help them and they died waiting.
The response to this disaster has been PATHETIC. There is no other way to say it. Blanco and Nagin have been quivering masses of ineptitude from the beginning.
I don't have a problem with Shep. He tries to be a little too cool sometimes but that is all. When I saw him yesterday he looked like he was about to cry.
Shep keeps saying over and over, "These people coming out of the water and walking up on the interstate, no one is telling them where to go or what to do." I yell back at the TV " Shep you know more about where they need to go and what to do than anyone they have come across, you give them the information," for crying out loud.
He is one of the best in the news business.
If these news guys weren't there, we might not know a damn thing thats going on.
