Media has shown it is so over the line with this hurricane. The unprofessional behavior of the media cost lives. Most I have talked to recognize what a mess they made of this story. They can pat themselves on the back all they want but their reputation has lowered.
There were no shots at rescue helicopters but because of that report rescues and evacuations stopped. FOX is now reporting that AP was wrong in their report last night about a gunfight at the canal repair site. St. Bernard firefighters never were under gunfire.
The sensationalism and reporting of rumors did much damage to the relief effort.
Somebody should ask Shep at FNC about New Orleans "dodging the bullet" just as the hurricane was making landfall...
Incredibly foolish.
May well have cost lives.
People that could have left may have stayed or even gone back because "New Orleans dodged the bullet"... Shep said so...
