NBC this AM showed just how put on this type of reporting can be - Al Roker looked to be out on a patio or a porch of some sort and got blown over - as the camera zoomed back a bt when they went to help him he was actually three steps from a doorway and safety.

I'm not saying some of those reporters weren't putting their lives on the line - they were - but it is quite easy to manupulate preception from the point of view of the news.
