Anderson Cooper announced on CNN that a restraining order (1st Amendment) has been issued allowing reporters to meddle in the search for dead bodies.
Let me see if I've got this right...
During the aftermath of September 11th, the media dicatated that the pictures of the dead were "offensive to the memories of the dead and their grieving families", but now the eagerly await the opportunity to provide 24/7 television coverage of the victims of this hurricane.
Hmmmmm... what's different about this situation? (sarcasm font off)
Maybe we will get to see Anderson's dead body.
I wish I could find a picture of a hearse with a satellite dish on it.

It seems this would violate Teddy Kennedy's HIPPA regulations.
Amen to that.
who said you have to help them stay in the boat (oops ot again CNN) thats the 6 th time today you've fallen in the muck (oh that was an old man)
The media seems to be pathologically obsessed with viewing corpses.
Their preoccupation has gone way beyond morbid curiousity and their single minded desire to look at and photograph corpses conjurs up images of grave robbers.... and worse.
Anderson Cooper has been talking about dead bodies every single night.
When he was a teen ager, he saw his brother dive off the balcony of his mother's ( Gloria Vanderbilt ) high rise penthouse .
Perhaps in his case, it's some sort of post traumatic stress flare up.
The phrase-" just when we think the media cannot sink any lower " is not sufficiently strong to describe their disrespectful and odious mission to sensationalize the last remains of someone's mother or father or son or daughter.
CNN is so behind on this. DU has already been linking to pics and waving them around like the neanderthals that they are.
Even ghouls would pass up taking pictures of the corpses in some areas, from what I understand. Perhaps the 'news folks' will get their fill in an hour or two and abandon their folly -- though never being able to erase from their memory what they saw.
So if they locate someone presently deceased, how will they know for sure he/she did not die of shock at seeing Anderson Cooper. After all, it is virutally impossible that they would have seen him previously on TV.
Such a disappointment for CNN to find out today, early estimates of 20,000 dead way high. In fact, Trace Gallagher to John Gibson on FOXNews, just a few minutes ago said, experts are now saying there could be as few as only 1/4 that number who died in the hurricane.
How disappointing for CNN's program planners who obviously expected to see piles of corpses to photograph.
Why are these CNN scum allowed in while legal residents are kicked out of their homes?

It's called the Constitution. I raised my right hand to defend it. Any questions?
If CNN thought that Americans deserve to see the morbidity of this, why didn't they feel that way about the pics of Americans falling to their death out of the windows of the WTC?
"For what good could it be?"
RATINGS = M O N E Y
but they never showed a photo of someone jumping from the WTC, or the body on the sidewalk. that had to be sanitized, but they want to tag Bush with these photos.
Can you say, "ratings"?
While I routinely boycott cnn, I will especially do so if they are allowed to show bodies.
