"Someone said he goes to and from Baton Rouge which means he he should have been bringing back water IMHO. I don't like phoneys especially as reporters and this is looking more and more like his whole story of the ramp was a story to get himself noticed."
Well...I've been assuming he's flown in once per day, and leaves at the end of the day. And I'm also assuming there's a lot of equipment in the chopper. I've also read about Shep and his crew giving water to some people.
I'm abivalent about Shep, sometimes I like him, sometimes he gets on my nerves (grin)...but I think expecting the media to be the ones to solve the problems hands-on, especially on such a scale, as opposed to solving them by publicizing them, may be rather unfair. JMHO.
Have you watched the coverage tonight? They are portraying themselves to be the problem-solvers.
