Okay, I should preface this by saying that I know nothing about how the media works and how reporters/film crews work their jobs. And I certainly don't mean to offend any of you who work in media (DeltAlum, I'm talking to you!).
But what I want to know is, as I sit here and watch the news coverage of all of this, I want to know why, especially in NO, where the reporters are shooting images from their car windows, are they just standing there and capturing all this on film? I realize it's their job, but isn't there a point where the situation becomes so urgent that you need to just stop and help?
If I were down there, I would be helping every person I could. I would be shuttling people back and forth in my news van. I would be giving out my bottles of water. Otherwise, I'd go out of my mind if I had to just stand there and look at it all and do nothing.
I don't know. Maybe that is how all the reporters feel. It just seems like such a waste to have able-bodied people standing there while all this is going on. Maybe I've reached an emotional breaking point and I am just overwhelmed and am just not making sense about anything anymore.
