WTF? Hurricane coverage

[alarcojon]

I realize this storm is a huge deal, but do we really need to see a bunch of reporters in various states of getting blown around? Even Ron Reagan is out there.

1. Heh! It's either that,

Or 5 hours of how fake the Killian documents are...

2. I would love to see the Daily Show parody this coverage.

The CNN guys are on a deck on the fourth floor of a Mobile hotel. Anderson Cooper and another guy are taking turns reporting, crouched down next to a 600-pound planter and being pummeled by rain and 74 mph winds. A similar planter, in another location on that same deck, was reportedly over the side of the deck earlier.

I guess it's good journalism, but geez. Give the machismo a rest and take cover.

3. Yea it really is a bit much
