You don’t know all he is going through… it could be a lot more than a hurricane. Perhaps family member on death bed and he can’t get to them.

Then do the country a favor and take the day off. Jeff C is correct, there’s a time and place for emotional display, and news during hurricanes needs to be disseminated factually without “excessive” emotion. Maybe other stories can handle that kind of display, but not disaster reporting during the disaster. Facts. Quick. Clear. Direction. Strength. Courage. Calm. Hope. Period.

Sorry I really don’t mean this to sound as harsh as it is coming out. 🤣 I have no beef with you personally. I’m just responding to the argument.

I hope that comment was meant to be sarcastic. If not, your attitude is exactly the problem. We all have our troubles but some of us somehow manage to keep it together.

Edit: Adding to this that making excuses for people's failings is leading to the death of professionalism. There's a time and a place, this was neither. That's why professionals recuse themselves from tasks when they believe they have an emotional conflict and cannot be objective.
