I thought you were kidding and then I went to the site... I think you misunderstand however.
They do need to emphasize that people need help and that people are dying. You cannot ignore REALITY on this issue. The reality is that there is death and despair.

15. The Media has actually awakened. They distinguished tween thugs

being vandals and everyday people trying to get food.

they emphasise the suffering and lack of action.

they talked about race and class issues.

1. They're being REAL

We wouldn't know any of this was going on without the media. According to the real estate guy Bush appointed to head FEMA, everything is "going well".

Someone has to get it out to the people how bad shit is there.

6. What?

While people were dying, the media focus was on people stealing... Shut up just shut up...

4. I happened to be watching when that lady was being wheeled

over the tarmac. It was raining and she was lifting her mouth up to catch raindrops. :cry:

7. I think the OP is talking about the line ---

Watch: Death and Despair mostly... I agree though -- there's no way to report this ina positive light. It's totally FUBAR.
