It seems like we have at least learned a little something in the response to this. Only 10 dead so far is pretty insane, though there are many many more to come, once the waters recede and they can go door to door. A glimmer of positivity. So many pictures of amazing humanity of folks helping other folks.
Disgusting. If there were a hell, people who do this would go there. I know that's against the law in Texas, but who the hell is available to enforce that right now?

I don't applaud her or criticize her. She was understandably upset about the entire situation. Despite the obvious huge moral problem with news networks working for $$$$$$ and ratings during times of human suffering, which I completely get and don't approve of, I don't really think the media there is a totally negative thing (CNN, FOX, whoever - makes no difference; way to turn something EVERY network does into a post against CNN specifically, lol) - That is how help and aid comes flowing in, and how family members know what's happening to victims. Many victims also find telling their story to the news cathartic. It also looks like that poor lady could have easily not walked up to the reporter and/or easily walked away. But with what she's going through, I don't blame her for being pissed and upset about whatever happens to be there to be pissed and upset about. I didn't hear what the reporter said to her, so can't say if it was inappropriate or not... but it sounded from the reaction it may have been along the lines of "how are you feeling" or "what is this like for you" or something, which I don't think is inappropriate or insensitive ....

Whoa! While interviews with survivors does help spread awareness, which will hopefully contribute to donations, help etc, reporters often are very insensitive with their questions. Not just CNN, all of them. I'm glad this interviewee spoke her truth, f-bomb and all.

I agree, all mainstream media outlets drool over these events and CNN just happened to be in the crosshairs here. On a side note, I love how Texans are helping their fellow Texans here. Seeing the lines of boats and people going towards unknown hazards in order to help feed, shelter, and evacuate people that they have never met is truly remarkable. As unfortunate as the disaster is, it is encouraging seeing people helping each other and coming together regardless of race, religion, etc, especially in a time where all you see in the media are people hurting each other.

No love for 'weesiana and the Cajun Navy?
Them to, "people helping people" I should have said. Great seeing people in mass unconditionally helping others.
Before this thread turns into a Jerry Springer episode, let's lay off and pray for the best possible outcome.
Absolutely. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I hadn't heard from one of my oldest friends that I grew up with in Houston until about 2am this morning. It's a terrible feeling...if you need anything, let me know.
I LOVE MUSIC.

the desperate looting food, not okay!
ABC News anchor reports on Houston flood survivors stealing food, directly to police

With that being said, I hope everyone votes for the proper funding to help all of our Texans in need.
