Not easy to do with roads under several feet of water.

Helicopters are not deterred by roads under several feet of water.

Nobody in the MSM thought to hire a chopper and fly over areas on the coast that anyone with half a brain knew must have been hit hard? Nobody in the MSM jumped at the chance to actively seek out images of destruction that could boost ratings?

The MSM didn't show us Cameron and Holly Beach because roads were blocked and they couldn't get there. They didn't show us Cameron and Holly Beach because they'd rather show us the 9th Ward.

I am amazed at the effort some are making to excuse the MSM's attempt to ignore the Louisiana coast the way they ignored the Mississippi coast.

There was a pool chopper up yesterday late afternoon that fed footage to the Houston stations, and I suspect the cable networks...they were showing Lake Charles. It was my understanding that they were only up a short time since the window of wind and cloud activity only went below 50mph toward the end of the day...I am not sure about the coverage today.

I saw KCAL9 from Los Angeles had their satellite truck in Lake Charles and Port Arthur yesterday....they got stuck in the mud and needed help out.

I have seen photos from Erath, Hackberry, Cameron, Sulphery, Carlyss, so press is out there.

As I said yesterday, HELICOPTERS ARE NOT BEING WASTED TRANSPORTING MSM. They are being used to RESCUE PEOPLE.
