Here's To All the Compassionate Reporters Covering New Orleans...

I haven't been watching any in the last couple days.
Just been transcribing the feeds, or filtering the transcription up (check wiki.nola-intel.org )
you get the actual calls (believable or not) for people under fire, and the response (some CG helos fly a long way for a single, unverified report). And you see what non-sensationalist folks with much better surveillance equipment say about things like refinery damage (yes, in some parts, oil is flowing around houses).
any you hear all the air traffic calls for news helos going in and out of the NO TFR.

Just a thought but if you have satellite try the BBC if all these American networks get you so riled in their coverage why not try the view from outside the US.

If the US Coast Guard had reporters, they'dve thrown their mics away, gotten in a helo, and saved about a THOUSAND lives.

US Coast Guard rocks!!!
