I don't have cable so I can't call with an informed viewpoint, but I remember well, the coverage of Katrina and 911. I have an addictive personality so I was literally almost unable to look away during that unfortunate media blitz of disaster porn.
Media exploitation of disaster situations has been over the top for a long time. They're always looking for their next windstorm or icy patch on the road. Just watching Nightline for a few minutes last night made me feel the need to take a shower. I quickly changed the channel to Letterman.
