GOD forbid....but at some point...how long will it be until some reporter covering a natural disaster....like a hurricane...standing outside in weather that "normal people" wouldn't take a chance to be in....and a flying piece of debris come and decapitate them?

Is de norm to see reporters braving 100 mph PLUS winds and rain as if to show how tough dem is and what they willing to do to get a story.

A CNN reporter in Jacksonville today lamenting the fact that people outside with their kids in the street while Jacksonville flooding.

She bawling how people could be so irresponsible, YET......she callin over these same people...to interview them and askin them how they house is and why they standing outside.

Then she gone by a next setta people and asking if she on snapchat now etc

WTF????

Dats how one makes 'merica great again.

Irma was very dangerous but for some reporters, it's the closest thing to a war zone.I saw one driving over a bridge as waves were getting higher.

They want to be known as risk takers.
