I'm not talking about you, my FRiend or any average citizen.
But NBC NEWS?
How many traffic helicopters do they have?
Could you imagine the PR if they got even 10 of them from the surrounding states to drop water to these people?
They would be heroes.
Right now they are dolts.
Good post. I have been thinking the same thing.
Yes, I agree with you. It would be wonderful if the news people could help these people. I think they are trying to when they can, but I don't know how they are getting resupplied. I'm in Madison County, 200 miles north, and we are having trouble getting gas and food here. Not trouble like they are having there, but I have to admit that I was worried earlier today that I might not have anything to eat next week. Of course, I was overreacting due to a lack of sleep and fear for my friends who still haven't been heard from. I feel so helpless sitting here at my house with power, my computer, and money, but not enough gas to even go down to the Red Cross shelter tonight and help out.
Yep, get the picture and go. Get the story and move on.
Heard Matt Lauer talking about how difficult it was to keep his composure at times. That's funny...I heard him segway this morning into something...end the sad, mournful tone and on to something brighter and happier. The guy's tone changed in like three seconds...it was creepy.
News people are really starting to creep me out with all of this. One reporter (I forgot the network) I heard actually said, "You know, you get used to people in Third World countries begging you for food and water...but not here in the United States." Camera panned to children jumping up and down. It bugged me.
