Did anyone else catch what just happened on WWL?

[barbaraann]

The black female anchor just got an emergency message from her sister on air, got flustered and had to leave. Then they cut to something else.

It's getting worse and the Republicans crippled preparation as well as response. I am so, so sorry for everyone who is being hurt by Katrina.

5. Saw it too.....don't know what it's about

other than something, a call, from her sister. I liked that her compatriot there put his hand on hers.

2. Yep

Did you see the wreckage on their desk? How long have those two been reporting?

[barbaraann]

4. I'm not sure - I've just been watching it on and off.

Oh, it's WWL. Sorry

6. They've been on for several hours.

I've been listening since 10 O'clock.

I hope everything is okay for her family.

8. I'm not sure - I've just been watching it on and off.

But I did notice that WDSU has a lot more minorities on air than WWL.

17. Don't be ridiculous!

I know the people at WWL-TV. Race is irrelevant, only merit. These are good people!!!!

10. We have new anchors now

Damn, they are trying as hard as they can, that's for sure. I wish the folks at Faux and Corporate News Network would take some lessons.

13. that messy desk

:D MyGawd! When I first saw that, I was stunned. I thought for a minute they were trying to wade thru it, but nope. I did see Sally (the woman who left about her sister) look at it at one point, shake her head and toss down a piece of paper.

Is that young guy trying to tidy up?

On WWL-TV, by the way.
