News Media - Suited Looters? Watching the morning news on TV today, I was struck by the accusatory, vicious, and nasty attitudes of supposedly neutral news commentators as they reported on the disaster following Hurricane Katrina. Instead of using the massive machinery of the media to find ways to help victims, the game seems to be for each commentator to try to steal a moment of limelight jumping on some poor official that hasn't slept in three days trying to get aid to those in need. Maybe these government types haven't done a perfect job, but they are people too and doing the best they can. In a lot of ways this behavior is not so much different from the behavior of looters. There is no self-restraint. Each is trying to get something for himself or herself. There doesn't seem to be much concern with helping restore order. Both are taking potshots at rescuers -- the media with words and the looters with guns. Neither the looters or media are seen to be lending a hand to help other people. Did we see any TV crews filling sandbags? Offering rides to people out of the area? Bringing in food? Using their choppers to rescue people? From what you can see on the TV it just seems that they are going into devestated areas to take what they can while the getting is good whether it is a newsbite about some poor refuge or an attack on some "authority" figure trying to solve a huge problem with few resources. Aside from the expensive suits and the use of words instead of crowbars, is there a difference? When the media decries the looting, does it sound like the kettle calling the pot black? This is a massive disaster and it is getting worse as more things break-down. Are the media there trying to offer services to help? Are we seeing efforts to help people find the missing? Where's the information on how citizens across the country can help? Where's the information for local people on what to do to survive? Where's the broadcast information of where relief centers are, where to call or go if you need help? People need a little reassurance about now. Where is the coverage of the hundreds of search and rescue units that every locality has sent to the site to help? Where can people go an volunteer to go to the area to help? How much money is being donated by concerned people throughout the land. How many people are lending a hand. You don't hear this good news or see much encouragement of it. Isn't about time that the media was a partner in solving the problem by using its resources to help people instead of pursuing its own agenda? How can we watch this stuff without wondering what kind of person can take pictures of starving people without trying to feed them? How many media choppers and trucks are delivering water or blankets? Instead of trying to cut down any available target, why not be part of the solution and help directly? The eyes of the world are on our great nation right now and we must be embarassed that we have widespread disorder and looting in what was a great city. At the same time I think we also need to be embrassed that our media is seizing this as an opportunity to cut at the fabric of government instead of using its resources to lend a helping hand to get aid directly to people in need. This is a disaster where everyone can lend a hand to help and you get more accomplished by working together than taking time from relief efforts to play the blame game. Wouldn't it be refreshing to hear a news commentator ask the Governor of Louisiana how can we help your suffering people - what do you need us to do to help communicate with people?
