Is it really necessary for so many reporters to come? We are still trying to figure out the extent of the disaster, rescue the survivors, and get resources and support to them. With 3 nuclear power stations down from tomorrow (Monday) we are going to start rolling blackouts to conserve power, and surely the infrastructure as it stands should be used to help the victims, not transport an excessive number of reporters to the disaster area to stand amid the rubble and report? Can't a pared-down team do that? Can't networks pool resources? What is important here? Helping survivors or being the first with the story? The Japanese reporters are on the ground, can't the US networks piggyback on their reports sometimes?<br />I was very upset to see that the CNN reporter who was already based in Japan, and who had already made her way to Miyagi yesterday, first reported on a team of people working to find survivors, then turned the camera around and showed a group of family members waiting for news. Please, can't you respect people's privacy a little more? The people they love are missing, may be dead, and surely the last thing they need is for someone to be pointing a camera at them.<br />I feel the priorities are wrong. The news is getting out already, it is on Japanese TV and some correspondents based in Japan have tapped into local sources. When everyone has Skype and Twitter why does the world's media need to 'descend on Japan'? Enough has descended on Japan already in the last 72 hours and we are trying to deal with it. It seems there's almost a race to see who can get there first and some compassion for the victims has been lost.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-10836152658836293902011-03-12T11:10:26.431-05:002011-03-12T11:10:26.431-05:00Anon 1:02 AM , I am with you.

Isha's whole style was cool.<br />She would say watch this video with me and it<br />seemed like she is having a conversation with<br />you. Imagine this on CNN. Heck maybe she<br />can get the gig for the hour before 360.Isha<br />needs to be holding down the fort while <br />Anderson Cooper is in Japan.<br /><br />Too bad CNN keeps trying to give Eliot Spitzer<br />and Piers Morgan credibility. Ain't gonna work.<br />In wake of what happened with Kathleen Parker,<br />women won't watch the show and Piers Morgan<br />needs to quit being a diva. Can someone please<br />give the man a reality check. We don't know <br />you or care. It is awesome that Rachel Maddow<br />is kicking him to the curb. Needless to say <br />the quake will benefit 360.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-75789487513258626232011-03-12T01:02:58.187-05:002011-03-12T01:02:58.187-05:00Isha is quite capable of anchoring all by her lone...Isha is quite capable of anchoring all by her lonesome as she has shown before.<br />If there's trouble with transmission from Japan,Isha should anchor from Atlanta and have cut-ins from AC or frequent updates.<br />She certainly shouldn't be used only for the purpose of bulletin updates.

The anchor should never be "the story."

There were some negative comments on Twitter last night regarding the anchors on CNN who were covering the quake and the Twitter commenters suggested that Anderson would know how to do the coverage right and they were hoping he'd get over there soon. There was one woman who was irritating in her delivery, but I didn't have a problem with the coverage overall. I'm glad AC will get to go though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
