Why is it that the weather channel is the only reliable news source on Katrina and New Orleans and other parts of the gulf coast. Sheesh.. get home and watch MSNBC and CNN and they are talking about the stock market, they are talking as if this was no big deal. I turn on the Weather Channel and its a completely different story.
I know they specialize in weather but it would seem since Katrina wasn't what they thought she was, the loss of life and property don't really matter anymore. I am shocked by this. I have been watching all three channels since yesterday and for them to suddenly drop off from reporting the facts was a little shocking.
It wasn't until I came on to DU and saw the reports from the local station that I realized it was worse than reported.
I apologize for not being clear. Tired and not thinking clearly. :hi:
that only the people for whom the stock market is the #1 concern matter to the advertisers that pay the bills to keep those "news" stations on the air?
