CNN you have no heart and should be ashamed to use a hurricane for a teaser. " We have a hurricane brewing in the Atlantic" stay tuned. Do you want to make people sick. Why didn't you say that it most likely won't be a threat to land.

They ALL do that. What else is new?

they do it for ratings, thats what its all about folks and im sure with all the TV Coverage of this Nola stuff, the Ratings have skyrocketed...the more carnage, or mention of carnage, the higher the ratings...just something in the Human Psyche that attracts ppl to stuff like this, that's why
its called the morbid curiosity in humans

Quite frankly I'm not surprised. Media hype without the fact that it is going out to sea...

I know, it upsets me when they do this. They never mention that it's moving out into the open Atlantic.

I remember when the depression in the Atlantic formed after Katrina hit and one of the newscasters said "another depression has formed and is heading in the same direction as Katrina" I wanted to strangle the guy!! He failed to mention that there was a good chance it would be curving out to sea. Instead, he probably induced temporary panic.


I'd like to hear him say, "don't worry about Maria, she's going to be a fish" and see how many phone calls he gets saying "huh???????"

I have CNN on probably 16/7, they do that for every hurricane or tropical storm. I don't think it's some ole on purpose thing because of Katrina. Calm down!

Yeah I saw that too, but I have to say this.....

It takes A-LOT OF BANK to do the coverage that CNN has done in the Wake of Katrina.

I for one have literally relied on them as much as I have Storm2K.

I feel the job they've done has been FIRST RATE overall.

I feel Fox News is "Shock News" and has done a decent job though..

I feel this is one of the first times in my life that the media has really came through. Hell the media has even HELPED a-lot of people.

All that being said, if CNN must use a line like "We have a Hurricane Brewing in the Atlantic." to help pay for some of the coverage they've been doing...SO BE IT..

If you break down exactly what was said, it was 100% true, and it didn't imply anything.
