"He (Shep) is grandstanding no matter what anyone says"

No he isn't. He has earned my respect during this tragedy.

I don't know what kind of perks the news people get to travel with, but being from around there,and knowing of the danger unique to the city, Ol Shep, looking scared, still volunteered to go in there and report the news. On the first day, he admitted that the city of NO could be done for, but he stayed.

He was only being concerned for people, most notably a little boy who was dehydrated, and, dead and dying babies. Plus, he is telling the truth, unlike most of them. He's a good guy and has gone up considerably in my estimation. He could be living the high life up in New York, but he is sticking with his people. I think he'd even go down with them, like a true Southerner.
