Newsweek’s Marc Peyser is not impressed with the media’s on-the-scene live coverage of the recent hurricanes.

    I agree 100%. These attention whores could just as easily report on the Hurricane from inside an entry way to a building, but they stand out there and flop around in the wind. What I really appreciate is staged crap like the Al Roker shot. He could have very easily have held onto the railing in the background, but instead the “news producer” chose to stage a production assistant supposedly holding him down (I cannot recall any other weathercaster needing such assistance - ever). The news media has devolved into shameless hype for ratings. The MSM is as real as the WWE.

    thanks for posting this. I agree these guys are attention-seeking whores. Anderson cooper - a good reporter - you gotta be kidding me. Also, his buddy -Aaron “Nasal” Brown. God, he cannot say a single sentence without waffling .. “enh, enh, let me respectfully ask without getting too much sidetracked and with due consideration ..enh enh, so help me out here ..while i understand that there is ..enh, enh, no crime discovered here..but enh, enh, do you think Rove is in trouble”. Geez! This guy is a castrated pussy!

    You know what would demonstrate to me that these people are good reporters? A street sign decapitating Anderson Cooper and he still manages to do his “throw” back to Larry King before expiring.

    Would the “throw” be done by the severed head, or the headless body?

  5. Mad Max: Beyond Superdome Says:

    Brendan-

    The body would hold the microphone next to the head for a moment before collapsing. Cooper’s body will instinctively know how to do it because of years of professional training.
