Yes, I saw Geraldo. And my comments were regarding Shep. I think Geraldo is a sincere drama queen. Shep is in hell on earth. If you aren't a bit passionate and frustrated in that situation, you are a robot.

I saw Geraldo too....and he kept saying these people haven't had food or water for 6 days. The flooding didn't start till Tuesday. I could have sworn I saw the calvary bringing food and water to the convention center!!!

I have no cable here so I can only base my opinions from what I see written here.

This is a hellish situation.

The reporters are/have seen much more than they will ever put on air.

These two (from accounts on this thread) appear to have developed some human emotions despite being reporters.

I personally have more sympathy towards Shep because he has been there longer and actually experienced the hurricane and it's aftermath rather than being flown in afterwards.

However I also have sympathy for G (can't spell it sorry lol) as a parent. Were I to go down there this minute I would probably be in tears the moment I saw a child ( I however would be doing all in my power to help amidst wiping my tears away.

Conclusion: Reporters are human. They are not perfect. Humans lose controll of their emotions in extreem circumstances. And the problem here is what exactly?
