Don, that was very well stated and really makes a lot of sense.
I would never have thought about news people taking up needed hotel space.
I always wonder why every station thinks they need to send their own IDIOT to the area to stand outside in 100 mile per hour winds and tell everyone else to stay away. These people take valuable resources from law enforcement and rescue to look this way. I think when evacuation has been ordered they need to be cited. This is not a matter of free speech or freedom of the press. They can say anything they want from the safety of some remote studio. Now they are hampering the clean up crews trying to get interviews.
I suppose when one of them is decapitated live on air that the stations will insist on a congressional investigation of some government agency for not specifically warning them of the dangers.
