TV News Reporters

like tropical storms and hurricanes. I think it sends them back to their childhood and gives them a chance to stand in the rain or wade in the water. But I am absolutely convinced that this will prove deadly for a reporter someday. Some of them have not demonstrated good judgment in the past doing things like raising ENG masts into power lines or even driving the remote trucks into power lines with the mast raised. If a reporter dies covering a hurricane, it will ultimately be the fault of station management for allowing them to put sensationalism ahead of safety.
