They told me I had signed up for three months, but never made that remotely clear in the beginning. Wondering if anyone has found a way to fight back.

]]> Comment on An open letter to Anderson Cooper by Anne http://www.darkculture.net/blog/2010/01/13/an-open-letter-to-anderson-cooper/comment-page-1/#comment-129615 Anne Sat, 16 Jan 2010 16:35:36 +0000 http://www.darkculture.net/blog/?p=2806#comment-129615 "I understand that." I don't think you do. Anderson Cooper is doing his job as a journalist. That IS important. How do you know how he feels about this? How do you know what's going on off camera, that you judge him on a 4-minute report? A report that was showing people what is going on in Haiti, bringing the need and information out to the world, which is helpful, and what journalists are for. He'd be doing all of Haiti a disservice to drop reporting and maybe help one or two people by digging with his hands, while he can be much more useful getting the information to the rest of the world as he's supposed to. But I'm sure that you're work for Haiti is much more important that you feel qualified to write him off as a sadistic, useless, capitalizing media whore for this, no? Dani: Yes, what Anderson, Rush and Pat are doing is exactly the same. *eyeroll* Cooper has more than earned his chops, starting off by going to war-zones with no backup and just a hand-held camera, the sneer about his background is unearned and unnecessary. “I understand that.” I don’t think you do.

He wept too for that matter and it brought him a certain amount of mockery and the label "emo anchor" (which has to be especially embarrassing for a gay anchor who, like female anchors, will have to always have to fight preconceptions he must be too weak or emotional for the tough work). Aside from poise developed over years of experience as a combat and distaster reporter, he's also got the motivation of not being known as "that crybaby gay guy who can't keep his shit together" to keep him from getting emotional on air again now like he did during Katrina. If you paid attention to the Haiti report you would notice that the girl's grown brother was standing clear although he was obviously desperate for his sister and would have wanted to help. The men were also arguing and unsure whether their attempts to shift the concrete material could save the girl without killing her by disturbing other material. It would make no sense for a reporter to get in there to join an effort that might well result in nothing but crushing someone to death, especially when he doesn't understand the language enough to know what the people he would be trying to work with were saying should they give urgent instructions.
