Evacuated mother just cussed out CNN

👀👀👀👀👀 😳😳😳😳

Like for real..shits and fucks flying..anyone see it? Telling them they interview people at the worst time and throw microphones in people's faces.

1. Just saw it.

She was waiting 36 hours for help with her children. Who could blame her?

[rainbow4321]

6. Oh, I know..not blaming her.

It was the anchor's and reporter's "and now to commercial..." reaction that made me post about it.

Now they came back from commercial and keep referring to the mom as being at her "breaking point". Calling it a "very human moment" and telling the reporter if she sees the mom again give her their "best". Probably not a good idea to go look for the mom....

[Control-Z]

10. Oh, I didn't think you were blaming her.

I'm sorry if that's how it sounded. I was putting a finer point on it. (Or trying.)

How many times did that poor woman push the microphone away? And complain about the microphone in her face? MSM - slow to catch on in this case. Though, I don't really fault her too much either. She was doing her job and probably on autopilot after many hours at it.

CNN should stay the heck away from that woman, or apologize with a nice room including meals for her and her kids. And do it quietly, without fanfare.

2. Must be a drumpfliCON.

3. I did. She was understandably stressed out and upset but I have to say CNN has had some

excellent coverage and they've also been helping to rescue people and helping to connect people with lost relatives.

4. Saw that and can't blame her. I mean how do they

think she feels having just lost everything? I would be telling her to get out of my face too!

[Liberal Jesus Freak]

5. Saw it...

...and thought the reporter handled it well. The mother was clearly beside herself. I can't even imagine

7. She Is Just The First To Let Things Fly....

In the coming days - watch for more of such comments from the people affected by this hurricane and floods. Frustration will set in. The realization that they lost their houses and all possessions and not knowing what to do next - will set in motion all kinds of such incidents.

8. Saw it. Understand her being stressed. But CNN and all the media are helping.

Both donations -- of volunteer help as well as time -- and help from Congress will be less without media attention.

9. I agree but I bet she is a Trumper!

11. By all means let's judge

someone who has been living a total nightmare since Friday.

[redstatebluegirl]

12. If the shoe fits.

[B2G]

14. And you have no idea if one is even required to be tried on.

Stop with the smug routine and maybe dig deep down in your soul for some empathy for what ALL of these people are experiencing.

[redstatebluegirl]

16. Wow, what a huge overreaction.

I have a huge compassion for those in Houston including my 85 year old Aunt Lucy and my 9 cousins.

[B2G]

17. Nope, you don't. nt

13. The pushy media people can be really insensitive and tone deaf.

Why do refugees even stop to talk to a total stranger with a camera, let lone freely divulge their emotions to entertain the jaded viewers? The reporters have to do their job and no doubt a producer is yammering in their ear to capture more heartbreaking reactions. I've seen some survivors just walk past the TV people, but most stop to chat. Even holding their cold, wet crying babies, they seem compelled to tell all and unable to move on to get help until the interviewer dismisses them. Why?

The woman just relayed how her family had almost died and her young children were standing there cold and scared, but the reporter kept pressing and pushing her for more, trying to get her emotions on TV. She's lucky she only got a verbal beat down.

15. Understandable but most who are interviewed do seem to want to tell what happened

Almost like it's relief to tell what they went through.

[sarcasmo]

18. More people need to do this, genius.
