Zappa knew the Presses then, back in the 60's.

Sure seems so.

Absolutely.  It became ridiculous.  Just report the vicinity of the hurricane in relation to the geography of where it's going to make landfall...that's all we need, and really all we have time for.  All their 'fluff' was ridiculous.

They interviewed one poor guy this morning who was extracting water out of his house and tearing out boards and a news reporter actually followed him around while he was trying to work.  It was beyond ridiculous.  Now if the reporter had actually pitched in and helped the poor guy, that would have been newsworthy.

Coast Guard video shows helicopter crew rescue man floating on a cooler 30 miles off Florida coast
Hurricane Milton made landfall near Siesta Key on Wednesday evening as a Category 3 storm
 By Greg Wehner Fox News
Published October 10, 2024 6:34pm EDT


A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter crew located and rescued a man who was seen clinging to a cooler in the Gulf of Mexico nearly 30 miles off Florida's central-west coast.

Coast Guard District 7, which covers South Carolina, Georgia, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, the Caribbean Sea and Florida, posted video of the miraculous rescue Thursday afternoon.

In the video, a Coast Guard helicopter from Air Station Miami is seen approaching the man clinging to a cooler as a member of the crew is lowered into the water.

The crew member then swims over to the man in distress, before the video ends.

I hope the storm missed you...

St Pete took it on the chin, but the flooding event never came to fruition.  A last minute turn definitely saved the insurance/reinsurance industries.  My electric returned this evening.  About 70% of the metro is without.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

I'm right there with you. When they stand out there in all the wind, rain and flooding, why do they think they would be able to dissuade citizens from doing the same thing? After all, they see that the reporters aren't dying as a result of weathering the storm. Instead they're having what some would call an adventure. No one thinks they have a special dispensation for defying the weather. Why do they act like they do?

Well, I did like that video of Anderson Cooper getting smashed in the face by flying debris.

@Wingnut

Yes, I remember seeing it a while back. I wanted to punch a hole in my computer so I could strangle that reporter. I hope they got a lot of blowback for their heartless reporting.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
