"Well, I'm certainly no CNN fan, but I've been watching both FNC and CNN. CNN has had better coverage during both hurricanes with less histrionics."

I agree. I really do not watch CNN because the politics is pure socialism. But Fox has done a terrible job. I wonder if it is due to $$. Seems like if they send out a reported they need to get a report even if nothing is going on (i.e. that oldish info-babe in Galveston). They really, really have NO clue on geography. Roger Ailes, "buy your folks a MAP."

I hope they dump this Hemmer. He could get a job bailing out the ninth ward. Who cares of it take month to pump it out. People had a few days to go back and look, but if you live in a low-lying area you HAVE to be prepared to loose everything.

Now this FNC dope is talking about getting back to normal. I can tell you from Punta Gorda it takes YEARS.

That was embarrassing. And it was all the more embarrassing because she was aware she had nothing to do. I felt she was taking us on a little nature tour. "Oh, look here. What do we have here? A piece of broken glass from a lamp post. We see these sometimes during this time of year."

Now this FNC dope is talking about getting back to normal.

Most reporters, even the ones on FNC, have lost all sense of reality. Apparently, they think Bush can snap his fingers and make everything alright. They don't seem to understand this isn't a movie or tv show, and that recovery and rebuilding will take YEARS.
