Yes, but real character is revealed in these times and on the good side we have Brit, Fred, Moose, Jeff Birnbaum wasn't even that bad for a Lib, Sean, Levin, Tony and Rush I'm confidant on. He was leading the charge before just about anyone last week.
I've said this before, but it bears repeating. Before the levee was breached nobody in TV land was really portraying the scope of the disaster. I remember vividly, last Monday, watching Brit do a 'normal' 6pm show, and thinking - they just don't comprehend what has happened to the whole Gulf Coast because it is just not territory that they think very much about ever. After 9/11 all programming, including commercials, except for coverage of the horror stopped for at least 3 days.
Last monday was practically business as usual.
Why: the devastation was so great, there was no video from Mississippi or Alabama, and no ability to 'see' the big picture. And now they all pile on because Mike Brown isn't Superman.
