  • I can't work out why CNN is so boring

    They have this way of making every disaster seem dull and an anticlimax. They used a handful of reporters for the hurricane and the same faces reporting nothing a lot of the time really got my nerves.

    How do they do it?

        CNN International?

        CNN gets on my nerves in a number of ways. Piss poor reporting during the hurricane and aftermath.
        I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

            Is Fox running a "President saves the day" editorial line?

                This is a good question. We haven't heard much from Fox News regarding this whole mess.

                  Fox News reporters:

                  Shepard Smith and Geraldo (dork) are very frustrated. I've always liked Shepard Smith even though he works for the dark side. The reporters themselves are pissed but look at the ticker at the bottom talking about what "Bush is doing." Geraldo is doing his usual crap, he looks like a dork but that's Geraldo for you.


                  Shepard I know was dying to tell it like it is but he was afraid he would get cut off if he did so he had to cool it. He was also pissed at the commentator back in the studio who was trying to pitch the company line.

                  This clip is priceless:



                  It's amazing how these tv crews can get in but our own government cannot.

                    A lot of the crews were already there, before Katrina hit. Some of them had mentioned early on that they were low on, or out of, food and water.

                          The reason why it's so dull is because all those news networks drag everything out to fill the 24 hours with news even if there's nothing to report.

                            That's true, and plus they don't have a wide variety of subjects like the BBC does. BBC has a good variety of international coverage.

                            Everytime I watch I realize how much I don't know what's going on in the world.

                              Usually I'm not a fan of Geraldo at all, but in that specific video he seemed quite impassioned and genuinely earnest. And having a breakdown.
