I know I am getting tired of it, of feeling awful for helpless people. Not that I wont help them as much as I can, but it seems as if the networks are using these stories as titilating entertainment and it is disgusting to me.
The people of Puerto Rico are real human beings, as are the people in Mexico and we seem to be conditioning ourselves to think of them like characters in a movie, Red Shirts, meant to die for our amusement.
I am just sick of all of it.
Reporting on these stories should be more matter of fact and less live video that puts crying mothers and children in front of a damned camera.
