@halbie71 Why don't you marry Bush? I don't give a fuck of whether anybody thinks Bush was a good President, the FACT is he failed during Katrina. Utter and total failure. To deny that is to deny the thousands of people who rotted in the street for FIVE days didn't matter. As a New Orleanian myself, I resent the hell out of that. This is NOT about politics.
OK, but here's the thing. What can Anderson Cooper do? Can he supply people with food? Can he evacuate people? He is not a government agency. He is a REPORTER. He is doing his job, which is to REPORT the situation. Imagine what kind of coverage the gov't. would have preferred people to see. It would not have shown how awful things were. AC did good work and was a witness and an advocate.
He did a good job reporting what he saw. My issue is not just him but all the reporters who watch a terrible situation and do nothing. Standing there talking about people with small children who have not had food or water in days and he does nothing to help. There is no way he went there without supplies for himself and the crew. Also, however he got there, use that means to get people out. I include all the repoorters, not just him.
@tranurse Are you kidding, there were three truckloads of water and seven truckloads of MRE's delivered to the Superdome on Saturday the 27th. About 14,000 to 16,000 meals. That's before the storm even hit. It is also in one stroke far more than Sean Penn ever dreamed of doing in his whole life.
@independentview1@independentview1 You are so deluded. Even if your claim that 16,000 meals were delivered, that would care for those people for about one day. Secondly, Sean Penn runs a refugee shelter in Haiti that has been operational since shortly after the quake, where over 100,000 people live, so get your facts straight. As someone who grew up in New Orleans and who watched my city drown for 5 days before government help really came, I resent your lies.
Lived through it.
Thank you Bush. .......NOT!!!

Anderson Cooper was saying the same thing in Haiti. Maybe it was George Bush's fault in Haiti also?

"last caring reporter". Are you kidding me, hundreds around him starving and you know he ate just fine while he was here.
The only thing he cares about is his career.

It's not a reporters job. Their job is reporting on the situation, the news, not becoming the news.
