And Mika is watching. Shame on them all.

(20,581 posts)what she'll say, what she'll have to live with, is taking advantage of her. It's unconscionable. They all get rich being on-air anchors exploiting her distress.

The people putting things on the air also need the break time to organize and plan for what comes out of the break.

Is it RIGHT to spin her hurricane devastation to express one's own grievances against...Morning Joe, corporate sponsors, etc?
Has she said she has a problem with any of this? This is key.
Explanations of their own exploitation of Morning Joe viewers BY viewers would eliminate inadvertently exploiting the tragedies of others. We have viewers right here who can probably offer examples of how tuning in and watching Mika and commercials exploited them right this morning.
Of course just complaining about a perceived problem is perfectly legitimate too. I was watching for a while, but I wasn't thinking of that and so don't have any good material either way.

(67,761 posts)THINK about her quadriplegic husband, strapped under blankets and wearing a flotation device in case their shelter was violated. THINK how frightened and helpless he must have been feeling. THINK how that woman, who is her husband's caregiver, was traumatized.
Hurricane porn is a reporter hanging onto a whipping stop sign for a stupid live shot.
THAT story was the opposite.
