I've been really impressed with MSNBC's coverage of the hurricane, their advantage being all of the NBC affiliate stations sending in reports. So after awhile I decide to see what other stations are doing so I switched to CNN just in time to hear the anchor ask a female reporter to "Tell us more about the major shed"
"A major shed just went blowing by awhile ago."
I'm sorry lady, they stuck you in a sucky spot to cover the storm, just say nothing but a shed down here
Then she held up a palm leaf and said
"Here is a palm leaf that went flying through the air awhile ago"
Now they have a guy on there showing weeds that got blown around and OOH a damaged street sign
If you're going to pre-empt ALL news for one story at
least put your reporters in the action
