"frankly--they told everybody to get out"--as they show a man on

[rodeodance]

the rooftop and a fire is burning a house a few houses down!!!!--oh, they did say it was tragic!!

This is going on in New Orleans and fox is showing it.

[rodeodance]

1. I can not believe this newscaster said that. ok--I believe it--but there

IS a fire a few houses down and the neighborhood is flooded and there is this man waving on rooftop.

[rodeodance]

2. obviously this pic is from the air and someone will scoop him up.

[Bonhomme Richard]

3. They really do play to the Asshole segment........

of their audience.
Disgusting.

[rodeodance]

4. it is the low of low to broadcast this message when a life is in danger.

[Bridget Burke]

5. I don't believe in Capital Punishment....

Especially for a stupid mistake.

Yes, he probably realizes he was wrong. So let him live to benefit from the lesson.

8. Grrrrr...This morning I was SCREAMING at NPR on my way to work

after they referred to the people 'who refused to leave'

How f*cking stupid do they have to be to realize that some people HAD NO CHOICE? And how irresponsible it is to present it that way...

:mad: :cry: :grr: :cry: :mad:

9. Apparently one of the victims rescued today was a 97 year old

who I guess had "refused" to leave.

[Junkdrawer]

12. Yes, but wasn't that looong segment on the French Quarter uplifting...

it was a regular "driveway moment"...

14. Some people have no concept of no money. To some, only

having a few thousand dollars in the bank means "I'm broke"....to the unfortunate masses of people there, no money means NO MONEY! No means to leave and no where to go. Good Lord, those poor people, having to make a life or death decision based on the dollar...

10. "compassionate conservatism" indeed n/t

11. Daryn Kagen the ice queen

CNN showed the video of Mr. Johnson, who lost his wife as they both clung to life and she was swept away in the water. Devastated and in shock all he could say was "she's gone, she's gone". The look on the mans face.... he descibed how she was pulled from his arms by the water, her last words were "take care of the kids and grandkids".
I was bawling as I watched.
Then perky Daryn just quipped "Well there will be lots of stories like that" and gave her ice cold reptilian grin. She is so detached from the human race she can't relate to the suffering of anyone.

[Beausoir]

16. She is an incredible pig.

Watching video of a woman and her child being lifted off a roof, Kagen was actually annoyed! "Time and time again they were told to get out!"

Her mouth is actually twisted in some kind of sneer. Looks like she has been sucking on something bitter and acrid.

[The Backlash Cometh]

13. FoxNews said that? You mean, the channel for "kill guv'mint" types?

What flip-floppers.

[Redstone]

15. That fuckhead's obviously never been to New Orleans,

or if he had, he never strayed outside the tourist areas.

Does he have ANY IDEA how many people in that city don't own a car?

What an asshole.

[WindRavenX]

17. what you said

People don't realize urbanites don't have cars...it'd be like this if something like this happened to Boston or NYC...only the rich own cars and could get out.
I'd be fucked, and so would all my friends and family in NYC.

[Ms. Clio]

19. Heard on AAR this morning that 1/6 of the people there didn't own cars

[WindRavenX]

18. cnn is reporting that bodies are beginning to float in NO
