Anderson Cooper in Haiti

[neverlosethefeeling]

Can't imagine what this might be like. Props to Anderson for doing something.

Warning: This video is graphic. If you are queasy or don't like blood, don't watch it.

GOD Bless Anderson Cooper. I pray that the little boy is alright.

I typically hate the main news networks, but damn.

Anderson Cooper showed a lot in that clip. Props to him and hope that place can recover.

I tend to feel the same way about mainstream media, beechlander, but Anderson, along with Dr. Sanjay Gupta have always been two of the guys who I respect.

For the record, it's been reported that Dr. Gupta has been preforming surgeries in between broadcasts since there is a shortage of doctors.

Dang, that's awesome. (I mean what Cooper did, not the fact the poor kid got bludgeoned.)

[Bobby]

Gupta was the one who watched over a field hospital when all the other doctors left. He was literally the only one there.

Gained a lot of respect for Anderson and Sanjay this week.

Normally I don't get queasy but wow, when he wiped his face and a puddle of blood poured down his shirt, I almost threw up.

AC is a BA

This is when AC is at his best, out in the field.

Once again, the red tape is what strangles people.

I watched that last night on TV and thought holy poo look at that blood!!

[Cat]

I read Anderson Coopers book this past year. It's most excellent can't help but really like the guy. He has a very unique story.

[Kurb]

Props to him and hope that place can recover.

It was in pretty bad shape before the quake.

[Go To Girl]

Anderson Cooper has been on my list for years....take that however you want.

The crazy thing is, hardcore journalists and professors in journalism schools would HATE this. A journalist is never supposed to get involved in these kinds of situations. They're never supposed to participate in any way (which is necessary because being uninvolved is what keeps combat photographers relatively safe, and allows journalists to tag along with hostile guerrilla groups). Journalists are supposed to report the news, not make it.

But I have huge respect of Anderson Cooper. He absolutely did the right thing and he is one of my favorite journalists. I probably would have never cut it as a professional journalist because not only would I have helped the kid, I would have tracked down the guy who threw the cinderblock and smashed his face into the ground.

Very true. Same with photojournalists. Noticed plenty of them in that video, they kept just snapping away. Something I could never do.
