No, because, we, the public, demand live coverage. John and Anderson think that they are in the eye at this moment.

Ratings are part of it, I'm sure ... but most reporters are kinda crazy that way anyways ... they figure they have a duty to let us know whats going on, even if it puts their lives in danger. Quite a few reporters have died or been injured overseas while reporting on combat, too.... I guess you just have to have a mean daredevil streak.... :D

And hey, we are all watching, aren't we? :wink:

Watching people standing out in the road leads one to think that the storm is no big deal...why evacuate??

Then again, we aren't seeing coverage from the ocean front.

I would evacuate. You would evacuate. But the average person could easily conclude that if these guys can still broadcast from the eyewall, why should they leave their homes??
