Well, after waking up this morning to news about what's happening in New Orleans, and flipping channels only to see the news-anchor nitwits "tsk tsk"ing over the looting going on, I was going to make a post about it--

But she says it all so much better.

I don't have any kind of rescue/medical training, so I'm not going to try and head down there and interfere with people who *do* know what they're doing, but I will be donating to the Red Cross.

This is completely surreal. :-(

I never was talking to you like you were a moron, and I sorry if it ever came across that way, that was never my intention. I was talking you like I was defending a position, and yes, to some extent, myself.

How in the hell am I supposd to act when 95% of the people who bitch about the media blame me because I'm accessible? I feel like I'm being attacked from every damn angle here. Ever since this whole flood started I've had to hear "Well...you're in the newsroom. Why haven't you done anything about it? How can you be so heartless? Don't you feel sorry for these people?" It's bad enough when I hear it from one of my own family members...

Well, of course I feel sorry for them. The entire newsroom ground to a halt when we saw that footage. One person even had to make a dash for the bathroom.

You think I like seeing all this raw footage? No. What do you think I do at night when I go home? But it's not going to make me quit my job anymore than Canadian Bacon Lady made me quit my job at Dillons.

What scares me now is that this may have become between us. I hope it hasn't.

Apology accepted. And I'm sorry if it came across that I was attacking you, or pulling some kind of 'how can you be so heartless' on you.

But I will warn you that when I see certain news-anchors showing heartless behavior on the air, I'm going to complain about it. It will not be aimed at you and people like you, so please don't worry about it, okay?
