    I followed this …
    I followed this story for a couple of days
    w/ Campbell & CNN ! This broke my Heart.
    I weep for this child. Leave Campbell alone!
    She already has ratings. No other news
    station has covered Haiti better then CNN.
    They were very informative!
    I pray they win a EMMY!! Remember she just
    had her first child !

    It’s hard seeing any child suffer. She’s human, and she reacted. Donate to a registered charity to help others who need help.

    okay, regardless of whether or not this was done for ratings, it doesn’t make it any less sad. hope that little girl RIP

  4. dieniggerstische Says:

    It’s a sad story …
    It’s a sad story but still, it’s obvious from a journalistic point of view the child’s death was exploited for ratings. The news caster’s orchestration of the event as the gloomy news unfolded – and then not helped by her cloying and unprofessional display these people are trained to maintain composure and it’s obvious when they break because it’s a surprise. But this one had legs you could see it coming. Disturbing that reports of our deaths can so cleverly be converted to performance art

    Their “emotional” …
    Their “emotional” on-camera publicity stunts gives them ratings, more viewers, more attention, more watercooler gossip about how they are such “caring, loving and compassionate people”, and a promotion and bigger pay from networks like CNN, so after the fake crocodile tears, they start laughing all the way to the bank.

    Why hasn’t Neocon Campbell Brown (Married to Bush’s Foreign Press Secretary & AIPAC’s Dan Senor) EVER mentioned the 1.3 MILLION Iraqis Bush killed?

    @halcyon0830

    So true. A total ratings booster!

    Funny how the average youtube is stupid that they give you thumbs down even though what you said is 100% correct.

    for the time being we are safe not like the haiti people. soon we will receive plague greater than this, you cry and begging for help but no one can give even your nearest kin.

    @takebackthemedia4
    What makes me angry are
    only Shep Smith, and Geraldo
    visit the disasterous places.
    then you have
    Hannity, Oreilly,
    Beck, and Limbaugh

    sitting on their comfortable seats
    at their stations, and talking crap
    i doubt any of them donated anything.
    greedy old men.
    atleast if they wont help why wont they
    just shut the up.

    If you arent …
    If you arent affected by this story then you simply arent human – How could this not affect anyone is beyond me. Showing emotions for a little girl for a brief moment does not make it fake – fake is when you zoom into it and prolong the exposure like some other news agencies – CNN is real – if you dont like it – turn the channel

    @halcyon0830 or she’s human like the rest of us and feels sadness over hearing such horrible news.

    How could someone NOT show emotion after hearing this little girl’s last words.

    Yeah this just breaks your heart and it is great to see that she is not a robot………

    This was like the only human on Fox News Geraldo who was very emotional about Katrina…….

    Most of these people get their check and read the screen

    This clip is heartbreaking. I admire Campbell for showing her emotion. To me is shows that she cares about the news. It shows that some on TV still have a heart and dont just go thru the motions of reporting
