Get over yourself, CNN.

The news media needs to get over itself. Particularly CNN, who we've come to count on for getting the complete and true story out. Dispense with this "business better than usual" bullshit (we've seen too many of them - from Larry King to Paula Zahn - holding back smiles as they report on the greatest story of their careers) and start using their crews on the ground to facilitate communication.

And this goes out to major televised news media outlets everywhere: stop the reporting; it's been the same crap for days and it's old and no longer useful. Be useful. Start by taking the two-man camera crew away from Dr. Phil, for crying out loud, and send them into the Astro Dome to give as many refugees as possible the chance to get their faces on camera and show loved ones they're alive. Who cares what Dr. Phil has to say at this point in the tragedy. Damn! Want people glued to your channel? Broadcast only interviews with the victims. Give them 30 seconds each starting today!

What are you guys thinking about???
