They aren't making it about them either. Shep was there from before the storm. He's been through every single emotion, from incredulity to relief to despair. A lot of those reporters just came in. Shep has the right to report however he wants as long as he is truthful.
Geraldo, well he's just being Geraldo.
Shep even had to tell BOR, "hey... you want an eyewitness report from the area... I'm just telling you what I'm seeing." Geraldo was being Geraldo, but the same people are in the same fix now, begging for help for their dying babies and elderly. Steve Harrigan was around the same misery. All three reported the same innaction and BOR callously dismissed them all.... reported on Aruba shortly after.
That's the convention center parking lot, according to the caption that was attached to it. That's National Guard toops. That's a lot of food and water. Those people are not being ignored, they are being taken care of.
Disagree and I think his non response to O'Reilly's question just who HE'S blaming spoke volumes. He's there to report what he sees without finger pointing and Monday night quarterbacking.
Actually Shep set his SELF up for this...HE is the main one I can remember that came on TV on Monday night and Tues. morning reporting that the hurricane...
"wasn't that bad". In fact, I think I sensed sort of "let down" in his voice...like he was expecting "the big one" and didn't get it.
I think he is really re-evaluating how he felt earlier in the week. This was a "lark" for him in the beginning...a chance to go to Bourbon Street and experience a Cat 5 hurricane...
