Well who'd have ever thought I'd have to consider watching the regular news instead of the growing competition between Shep, Cooper, Harrigan et al to see who can paint the bleakest picture. I'm actually watching Matthews on MSNBC (and by so doing have doubled his normal viewership) and have to say his coverage at least tonight has been pretty reasonable. Anything is better than hearing Shep say for the thousendth time "...and NOBODY is telling them where to go or what to do".
Harrigan is doing an excellent job. he is showing the truth, look at him now with all these stranded people. no one is coming for them with buses, they are just sitting there along the road, fearful of how bad it will get as they stay through the night. why sugar coat that?
Does Shep have a beard yet? If not, that means he has access to water or power to shave. Why not share?
