Best thing about Hurricanes

Post by Winnow »

are the moronic reporters that stand out in the wind..."look at me! I can barely stand up!"

Would love to see a 2x4 smack one of them in the head.

Why would you want that? It's not their fault their bosses send them out there.

Just remember: Don't makeunnecessary journeys.

I'd rather see a wind gauge than some dude or lady getting blown around providing zero added information, "It's really windy! Look at me!". It's like a right of passage for reporters to look stupid standing out in a hurricane. When I see it, I don't think, "brave", I think, "idiot". I want one to get seriously injured so we can refer back to it anytime a reporter gets injured standing out in a story just so we can see their rain outfit flap in the breeze.

The reporter I'd promote or respect is the one that films looking outside a window saying "There's no way I'm going out there" Anytime I see an actual reporter on screen it seems like it's more about that reporter getting screen time than the story.

On a side note, CNN blows.
