MYFOXNY.COM - A local news reporter from Washington, D.C. ended up getting covered in what is probably the remnants of raw sewage as he delivered live hurricane reports from Ocean City, Md.
WTTG-TV reporter Tucker Barnes was providing live updates for stations around the country as a wall of what he described as sea foam poured over him.

He noted that he had immersed himself in organic material. That "organic material" was most likely the effects of raw sewage pouring into the water during the storm.
"It doesn't taste great," he said.
He said it had a sandy consistency and added, "I can tell you first-hand, it doesn't smell great."

Gross.
not surprised about this coverage. This 24hr ongoing coverage of weather really started a few years ago with the big snowmageddon.
One local reporter looked pissed yesterday when she had to come home early from vacation because of this.
A reporter will have to die on camera by flying debris for this to end.
It is sheer lunacy that reporters go out in those conditions and then tell everyone else not to do the same thing.
Then, the media will wring their hands ask if they are setting the proper example for everyone else. Then, they will not do this anymore.
It’s a shame it wasn’t Geraldo, since he’s already FOS.
That guy must not be a king.
Ugh I don’t know who I pity more. This imbecile or the Weather Channel dude who was disgusted because he was standing in front of an intersection full of cars and pedestrians while he was trying to report on the devastation being wrought on Virginia Beach.
It was probably just the sh*t coming out of the executive mansion in Annapolis.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
