CNN\u2019s got a reporter down in Puerto Rico right now, and he\u2019s standing on one side of a river. The chyron graphic says, &#8220;Desperate Puerto Ricans Forced to Cross River.&#8221; This guy was able to get there himself. He\u2019s probably got plenty of food and water for himself and his crew, and he\u2019s standing there watching a bunch of Puerto Ricans unable to get where he is.

Does he not have the ability to help them get to where he is? Why do they have to cross the river to get where this guy is? &#8220;Well, crossing the river is very, very dangerous! I guess they could drown in there.&#8221; But this guy got across it somehow. The helicopter dropped him in or something. This has always amazed me about reporters at disaster sites. They are not starving. They are not dying of thirst. They\u2019re not in danger, and they\u2019re 10, 15, 20 feet away from reporting on people that are.<\/p>\n<p>They don\u2019t have&#8230; The old Sam Kinison bit on this&#8230; Remember Sally Struthers? Some of you may remember the charity that she either was the face of or she ran, but she would be pictured next to a bunch of literally starving kids in Africa. She was not starving at this point in her life. She\u2019s standing next to \u2019em and she\u2019s looking in the camera; she\u2019s imploring people to send money. (impression) &#8220;Won\u2019t you help? Can\u2019t you see these kids are starving? Look at those swollen bellies! Can\u2019t you see it? Doesn\u2019t it just rip your heart out?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>See, the camera is watching these people cross the river. This guy is already across river where they\u2019re trying to get. It\u2019s the most mind-boggling thing in the world to me. What\u2019s gonna happen if some people slip and die and start floating downstream? Is this guy just gonna say, &#8220;Hey, look at this! A citizen of Puerto Rico just slipped and is floating downstream. How horrible this is! You see how Trump doesn\u2019t care?&#8221; with this guy standing up right there? Anyway, Sam Kinison said, &#8220;Sally, you got those massive swollen bellies and starving kids.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/P0q4o58pKwA\" width=\"650\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>&#8220;You know you\u2019ve got a sandwich in your basket there. Give them a bite to eat, for crying out loud, instead of begging people on TV to send you some money!&#8221; I mean, I laughed myself silly, but it was exactly right on point. Oh, now here\u2019s a close-up of the guy so that we can see across the river where there is a bulldozer try to make the river crossable. How did the reporter get there? Did the reporter wade through the ravaging rivers with his camera crew in tow to get there? Why doesn\u2019t he just send the CNN helicopter to get them and bring them across?<\/p>\n<p>Look, I don\u2019t know everything on the ground there.<\/p>\n<p>This is my reaction as a viewer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: CNN\u2019s got a reporter down in Puerto Rico right now, and he\u2019s standing on one side of a river.
