Guy looks like he's in trouble.
-
update us and describe what is happening..
dont get fox here
-
Maybe a 40 foot boat, sails down tryin got keep nose into the wind. He's about 1/2 mile out.
He's up wind of a bridge that he will smash into if he drifts or turns downwind. Winds about 70 mph.
-
Some handsomehunk in the intercoastal, probably broke his mooring, is trying to move the boat. 50-60 MPH winds, so he can't make any headway, and is stuck trying to hold the nose into the wind. Downwind is a bridge, so he is screwed.
-
I've been in similar situations a few times. If he does'nt know what he is doing he better find is liferaft unless he can get some help.

Lady anchor just told Geraldo... "Great stuff!".
Hey Biaotch, We are watching a guy fighting for his life here!
-
Looks like he has a roller jib. He could feed it out about 2 foot and beat to port, but he is porbably alone. Geraldo said he may have his anchor out. If he does and it holds, he will be ok.
-
But the hurricane is still coming and it's moving slow, so he will be there for a LONG time if he's lucky.
I'm no sailor, but no way would I want to be him.
-
He has to have at least one anchor out, otherwise there is no way he could hold his position.
-
how is he doing now?
-
It is anchored, no one aboard.
-
good. :)
never could resist thinking about people in trouble at sea.

Watched a bit of Fox news last night, funny watching the reporters should be interesting as things progress and whos still doing the outdoor reports.
Thing that gets me about Fox news is how biased they are. Their always saying how balanced their news is but it's anything but. Sometimes it's almost too painfull to watch with their Republican spin.
If it wasn't for the Fox Women I would of changed channel back to BBC. :D

It's no different than any other news station except they have a conservative bias instead of a liberal one.

My point exactly, glad you agree. Bias not balanced.
Like watching some kind of 80's communist party news service at times with their bias portrayal of events, comments and interviews.

You have to watch all of them to get any kind of idea of what is going on. Anyone that watches/listens/reads only one channel/paper/station will be misinformed.

It's almost impossible to give a true non biased opinion. Very few people can actually do it. You can't help but have a view.
All we as viewers can do is try to decipher fact from fiction. Even that's hard, since we all want to believe the stuff that jives with our opinion.
-
Fox news is more popular than the others because they are almost the only "conservative" news around. All the other news is liberal, yet Fox is not and is the most watched news in the US as a result.
-
the people who make fun of the news are fairly non biased.
trying to get unbiased coverage is like trying to mix vinager and baking soda to get water...
-
Did Fox news blame the Hurricain on Government spending or something? How could this story possibly be biased?
-Sik
-
LOL!
Fox News is more fair than any I have seen for the most part. BBC is the worst.
-
So apparently Geraldo is being pulled out of florida, I guess he was giving away Hurricane movements on air and F.E.M.A got a little upset. :D
-
Geraldo has some balz.... he's still reporting outside in the storm...must be going on 13 hours now.
ever since I can remember, as a kid even...he has put his life in danger for stories. He's a tough SOB.
-
yes, but the BBS has been around longer thzn fox, so they have more expirence.
