I just checked out cable news and the only one covering the fires in CA
is Faux News. My sense is anyone watching at this time would be looking for updates. MSNBC and CNN...geesh. They try to copy Fox in the wrong ways and can't seem to understand the reporting, when it makes a difference.

5. There's nothing to do here but sit and watch the live coverage 24/7
The major highways have closed, reopened, closed, etc. There's no place to go, and the air quality is so poor that it's no good to even go outside.

8. Sitting at home. Our neighborhood (Kensington) wasn't threatened at all.

9. I lived in Rancho Bernado with my family and move out in 2000.
I cannot believe what happened.

6. Yea, they've been doing a very good job. Channel 8
and Channel 7 have been pretty good, but I'm watching 10.

10. Politicians holding press conferences, patting each other on the back
NOw I see why Ray Nagins was so irritated two years ago.

4. LOL,. Yea, you noticed that too huh? I can actually sit through
breaking news coverage on Faux without throwing too many things at the TV, because a lot of it is just live press conference and live interviews.

Of course, I'd prefer MSNBC and CNN.
