Anderson Cooper announced on CNN that a restraining order (1st Amendment) has been issued allowing reporters to meddle in the search for dead bodies.
This is going to backfire big time; no matter how many times, Cooper says 'we're going to be respectful," they won't.
I absolutely positively HATE the press....ours and theirs.
Ghouls is a great word to describe these cretins.
Nobody wants to see this, except the press.
On August 31, Anderson Cooper accompanied a search and rescue team in Mississippi, going through a neighborhood, finding a body on the street and dead families in the boarded up houses.
CNN had a link to the video last week, but I can't find it now.
However, here's a link to the transcript of the video:

The transcript for the video starts down near the bottom of the page, where he interviews a neighbor named (not kidding) Sally Slaughter.
yep, first they want to censor the news and now i see take away guns, whats next quartering troops? I never had to take an oath, but I'd raise my hand to defend it.
I need to see what judge, located where, wrote what, with what parties before the court. It smells like legal sewage to me, but I need the particulars to be sure.

Cooper will pass out at the sight of a decaying dead person.
Is that "Kodiak" or Kodak, like the camera?
FReeper near New Orleans goes and pretends he/she is near death, waits for a CNN camera do a close up and then say, "Why has the governor and mayor forsaking me? Where are the promised buses?"
How does the song go? - Dirty Laundry...
"The bubble headed bleach blonde comes on at Five, she can tell you about the plane crash with a gleam in her eye...It's interesting when people die........"
That's why.....because they want too.
News, ya know.

What does the 1st amendment have to do with photographing and showing dead bodies?
I just cannot stand what they are doing to this country.
He almost did last week...they found some dead people in a house ..he went along for the pics...his nose crinkled and he looked extremely...white.
I agree on the constitutional precept. The constitution did not, in my opinion, foresee video images. Nor did the FCC become organized under any constitutional guideline(s). To broadcast or cablecast the images of the deceased without the explicit approval of the next of kin is wrong, if not criminal. Sure, they can shoot the footage and put it on pay-per-view after securing proper permission. Please prove to me that the first amendment allows photographic or video images of corpses. They may speak and write of these things for sure.
This disaster will indeed test us all.
CNN, The Dead Body Channel.
So, they found a court. Has anybody gone to that court to get a restraining order on account of the Second Amendment?
Melodramatic, hysterical, pampered sissy boy.
I hope the families of the photographed deceased sue CNN into oblivion. The last nail in the CNN coffin. This is one time I will gladly encourage a lawsuit.
