    some people criticized, what about the other rescuers, civilians that also helped out. i think MSMs only did it because he was part of the services and white(also FOX was one of the msm that interviewed him first.)

      Let’s call it what it is: propaganda

      They trotted out this story the moment the death toll hit 80, and wouldn’t you know it, this one guy saved DOUBLE that number of people. So really, we should be thanking this guy and praising the coast guard, right?

      Not thinking about the fact that this was a preventable disaster directly resulting from the government spending cuts to critical weather monitoring services because they dont want to have climate change reported on.
