The crisis in Haiti has become a global concern as the body count climbs. More and more dead bodies are being found as the rubble that trapped so many is being removed. As this tragedy unfolds, I am disgusted to find that certain media outlets are taking advantage of such a horrific event. Rush Limbaugh was quick to jump on President Obama for reacting in order to better his political career. Fortunately Mr. Limbaugh's comments have no influence on the work going on to help Haitians. Unfortunately, as ridiculous of a personality Rush is, he has a broad fan base on radio stations because he is a crude source of entertainment. Former presidents Bush and Clinton held a press conference Sunday, dismissing Limbaugh's statements. Story here.
CNN chose to report on how IMA's CEO was trapped under a collapsed roof during the Haiti quake. Interesting. The title:
"Haiti quake survivor: Sharing hope, talk, and a Tootsie Pop"
I wonder if any native Haitians were trapped underneath the rubble. Its not news its... well I guess its news.Picture from BBC website.
