"I'd kick Geraldo and Shep Smith to the curb. "
"i agree totally, last night's hysterical hissy fits were totally outrageous. i'd love to hear what sort of feedback fox got about both of those outbursts."

Thank you for reminding me to email FOX news right away this morning - complimenting Shepherd Smith, Steve Harrigan and Geraldo for reporting what they saw and not sugarcoating or spinning things.

They reported what is obvious to all of us watching - those people on those HWY overpasses have been neglected - and this morning we are reading that the FEMA chief (who has no real experience apparently, was "legal counsel" to FEMA before this appointment) told Ted Koppel that "they weren't aware of the people outside on the Hwy overpasses".

Apparently no one watches the news coverage,or reports back with the view from the helicopters.

Geraldo's antics should have had him arrested for attempting to incite a riot. Your hero worship is misplaced.

Shep and Geraldo reported in a sensation way what is known to the authorities. The city is cordoned off. The release of its occupants is being controlled by various forces. In some directions, local authorites deny entry (parishes nearby, not flooded); in other directions, LA state authorities deny exit. Shep and Geraldo KNOW this, because they have credentials that permit them to come and go as they please.

But, I did read some speculation that the hysterical reporting may serve a purpose to the people on scene, as a release mechanism. To the extent the reporting keeps the people from going medieval on each other, I'm fine with it.
