Really? It squared with that? Is that why the posters on that thread were complaining about the destruction at Cameron and Holly Beach not being reported on TV? I think you merely skimmed that thread.
How you can sit there and claim this was being reported on TV since the hurricane hit is mindboggling, because it is a blatant and outright lie. Show me where this news was being reported on tv before today. Show me where it was being reported anywhere other than the internet. I'll be waiting. It'll be a long wait. FNC only started showing it last evening.
Your handle is quite fitting. You don't know squat, even though you entertain the notion that you know a lot. And your attitude is always arrogant and condescending and dismissive toward any fellow FReepers who don't see something quite the way you do.
Goodness gracious, what a crybaby.
All during the hurricane the reporters in Lake Charles and the weathermen talking about the storm surge were speculating that Cameron and the areas around it were hit hard by the expected 20' surge. The news chopper out of Houston didn't get up until late Sat. afternoon, because of wind conditions. It made it east surveying the damage to Beaumont and Port Arthur, and showed that sunset shot from P.A. Can't film much after dark. Sunday we started getting in the Cameron video around lunchtime. I would doubt that any Lake Charles media outlets had a chopper, it ain't a large or wealthy market. And even if they had one, did you miss the fact that the LC airport was wiped out? That was reported about 4am on Saturday. Did you forget that we didn't get pictures of the flooding in Arabi and St. Bernard parish(NOLA) until 24 hours after they started flooding to the rooftops?
But don't let the facts get in the way of your selective memory and mythmaking. I'm not going to waste time pulling out posts from the realtime thread, all those things were being reported and are mentioned, it is there if you want to find it. But you won't and don't, because it would refute your whole thesis. There was no media conspiracy to downplay or coverup damage, that's utterly ridiculous.
