The weather channel was great but they're not a news channel and they have the weather to report.

I tried MSNBC, CNN and Fox and I think I puked in my mouth it made me so sick.

Any recommendations?

1. I really like the News Hour with JIm Lehrer on PBS
I think they are the most objective and least sensationalistic. Assuming they are still on... I rarely watch tv in the summer.

Or maybe European coverage?

2. YEa, Lynne, it really is sickening to watch....
But I am compelled....

I can't stop.....

Even though they show the same footage over and over again...

Even though they seem callous to the point of heartlessness...

Except for Martin Savidge on MSNBC who almost lost it earlier today... And Anderson Cooper.....

I won't even bother with faux.....

But still, they are asking questions now about why, how and when is relief going to get there.....

They are finally, at least for the time being, questioning the actions and motives of this administration
