Katrina: The Gung-Ho Correspondents

NYDN’s David Bianculli: “The most satisfying coverage yesterday came from CNN, relaying affiliate coverage from WFOR in New Orleans. Gung-ho reporter Brian Andrews acted like a little kid playing war games — crouching for cover behind a sidewalk mailbox, then running for shelter.

What made it satisfying was that, as Andrews signed off, the wind knocked him down and planted him right on his face. Served him right.

‘Points for effort, if not using your smarts so much, Brian,’ CNN anchor Daryn Kagan said.”
