Hurricanes

Is it just me or does anyone else just wanna punch CNN in the fucking jaw? All last night was just hurricane coverage. The fact that they covered it all night didn't bother me (it's better than hearing Nancy Grace and her annoying twang shout about the same shit.) The part that bothers me is how they do it.

You turn on CNN and before the hurricane they advise people that live in the danger zone every 10 seconds to evacuate. Then while the hurricane is going on they remind people that they should not be in the area, and if they are to stay indoors. Then not even two seconds later they ask the person outside hanging on to a tree what it's like?

How can you tell people they should not be around during a hurricane and then have your people standing outside with a baseball cap, a microphone, and a neon orange raincoat. In what way does the neon raincoat protect you? Is it like a traffic cone in the fact that the storm will see it and know not to fuck with you? You mean business!

Every station had some idiot standing outside to answer the anchor's repetitive questions:

Anchor: Let's go to Sheila Johnson who is standing outside in Houston. Hello Sheila.
Sheila: Hi Burt.
Anchor: How is it outside?
(A traffic light flies by her head and she is standing in a 30 degree angle.)
Sheila: It is continuing to rain and it is windy.
Anchor: Wow. Thanks for the update Sheila. We'll check back with you for an update in 30 seconds.

The only difference between all the other stations and CNN is that the other stations found some other little story to cover. CNN was straight hurricane all night. C'mon CNN you're better than that. Throw in some daily recession news to warm me up inside.

I know this is not CNN, but you get the point.
