So I had a pretty good laugh today. I turned on CNN (one of the three stations we consistently get in English) and there was live coverage of Hurricane Katrina. I don't understand why it is that reporters feel the need to be out in the storm to show people just how bad it is. For me, you could just point a camera at the signs being blown off billboards, roof shingles in the air and trees blowing sideways and I would believe you. But no, for some reason these reporters feel like they have to be out in the elements to give true coverage. The funniest part about this to me is that all the people I knew in college that were Television Broadcast majors were all very attractive and into their looks. Knowing this makes me laugh even harder when they are getting pelted with horizontal rain and barely able to stand up straight because of the wind.
The guy I was watching today on CNN was not able to stay in one place due to the 100 mph wind. As if that fact wasn't enough to get him inside, he then decided to say that within minutes the STEEL lightpost that he was standing 10 feet away from would probably be uprooted because that is what happened in the last storm. Kyle doesn't like TV journalists because he doesn't think they have many brains and this type of 'live reporting' sure isn't helping their case.
