The media hype of hurricanes is what confuses the public. I was in New Orleans for a conference several years ago and they hyped this hurricane that was coming, everyone was frightened, Dan Rather came down to cover it. It fizzled and was just some rain and wind.

I wonder if this is why it was so hard to get the people to take it seriously when it actually did hit.

The truth is a lot of these hurricznes fizzle out. Media hype doesn't educate the public about what is real and what is hype.

The media is so critical of everyone else, I want them to look at their own shameful performance during this crisis.

Those 2 clowns that do the Fox Show looked so disappointed that the storm is down to a 3.

Forecaster Joe Bastardi on FOX news last night was insistent that the storm would turn back to the west.

Wrong again, Joe.
