Hurricane Reporting - GoFuckYourself.com

This being the fourth hurricane in about as many weeks, us in other parts of the country can merely watch on national cable news networks. Let me pose one simple question:

WHAT IN THE HELL are they doing sending out their reporters, right on the "damage path," and waiting for the worst part of the storm, then throwing a camera in front of them. The poor reporter almost gets blown away by the wind, swept away by the waves, pummelled by the rain, or smacked by debri blowing around.... AND THEN ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS.... "What do you think the aftermath will be?"

THE REPORTER CAN'T EVEN STAND UP STRAIGHT FROM THE STORM.... and they ask what he thinks about the aftermath.... I just saw this on MSNBC.

By the way, another favorite is the part where in Frances, a reporter was riding around in the news vehicle showing damage saying "The police are saying DO NOT DRIVE"

Are we really that sick and demented in America to watch other people's misfortunes in action, or is it worse that they try to exploit it for ratings?

I hate rubberneckers, and all promoters of it...

It is the human way to want to see the damage and the blood and guts etc.

I normally watch cable news networks, this is just what they're covering non-stop for the past month or so; lately I've been watching ESPN which just loops the same shows over and over...

I equate it to watching a car crash or a beheading video. We are a bunch of sick fucks that have to see what is going on 24/7.
