"Sanitized news" is what most people are used to seeing - this is a real eye opener.
I believe Shep's emotions are the most validated. He's been there since the beginning. Geraldo is a drama queen and a showman, but that doesn't mean he isn't genuine. It has shocked him to see the conditions. They are living in the midst of filfth, stench, death, disease, destruction, despair, anger, hate, pure evil, and emptiness. All of this in the nation with more than enough resources to help - but it is all so slow. They are frustrated, angry, hurting, and in shock themselves. Let them report as they see fit.
This is not a nice orderly pretty scene that they can report so that nationwide sensitivities aren't offended. This is hell on earth. Cut them some slack.
