Will the media show...
...the dead babies on the rooftops today, and their mothers who are too dehydrated to even produced tears weeping over them?

Or will they piss and moan over LOOTING some more?

1. Oh hell no
I was shocked that CNN showed Anderson Cooper with a recovery crew last night. It's the only thing I've seen so far on TV about actual deaths. It's like the war, you know. Hide the bodies.

2. I'm so furious, depressed, and disgusted...
...I don't even know what to do. These stupid fuckers are more worried about control than they are human beings.

4. I know

I'm sickened by the 'talking heads' who smile and say we'll rebuild it all and be stronger for it. Not while there are people dying because they can't find a drink of water.

3. Don't you know stuff is more important then people?
That is why Bush is committing about 1/3 of the resources for this disaster to protecting stuff.

8. No. I got tired of "looting."
I only check in from time to time. As soon as I hear the whining about "looting" I have to turn the damn TV off. My wife won't let me break it. :)

9. He spent an entire show focused on the human tragedy ...
He angrily kept asking where the help was for the people ... pointed out dead bodies in horror ...

From what I've seen CNN has done a better job than anyone highlighting the human tragedy ...

10. Maybe I'll give him a chance.
I never really have given Anderson a fair shake. Something I once said about him so prejudiced me against him that I never watch his show. I'll reconsider.

12. Anderson seemed like one of us for once. He was pissed !
I think he saw more Katrina horrors than he ever did in Iraq. It seemed he felt the pain. I have to say that I was impressed. I think he is starting to get it.

Anderson, the good people of our country need you to expose this junta for the incompetent pigs they are.

14. I'm still pissed off at him for what he did on Larry King the
other night. What he and Larry did was just inexcusable.
