Except for the black woman anchor who pronounced Tunica, MS as Two Knee Ka. I wanted to email her and tell her it does not rhyme with Shenequa.

And the guy reporting on Fox news, he says At cha fly uh. You think he could ask if he was pronouncing it right.

Can someone tell the anchor that the people in the spillway will be dealing with PTSD not Nee Orleans?

CNN is doing a great job. I have never been a fan of CNN but this coverage and the coverage of the killing of Bin Laden has been great.

CNN is doing a terrible job. They're trying too hard to force a big dramatic angle on it.

As opposed to forcing a big dramatic angle about a rapper visiting the white house?


yeah, this kinda warrants it (for those who live downstream of Morganza, at least). I've been watching CNN all day and they're doing as good a job as anyone could reasonably expect from a news channel.

exactly

on an otherwise slow news day, they're giving it about 15 minutes every half hour... switching to live coverage as the event was happening. That seems fine to me.
