I agree completely.  BTW, if anyone wants to see the original live feeds
from the night of the fire to see
first hand how the live news crews/reporters handled themselves, a friend of
my has archived the off-the-air
feed on his site.  You can stream it at:

public as the server is not set up for mass redistribution nor have

air check.

The video feed is during the early hours of the morning immediately after
the fire started and at various
points while the fire was still raging.  Some of the video footage is raw
and unedited as it went out live
over the air.

Having listened to this group's interpretation of how the coverage was
handled, I found it interesting
to see the actual feeds that we were talking about.
