I did a mandatory ethics course in Journalism school. Alas, ratings throw it all out the window.
You've got serial killers being courted by the morning shows, etc. One thing I miss about Peter Jennings is that he tended to be more cautious when he delivered breaking news.
You can read how members of the media courted the Unabomber here:

Will every one that has NOTHING to contribute in helping to improve the lives of the poor wretches that are suffering, please get the fuck out of the way. You can go stand over there in the corner and argue semantics with Jesse Jackson and the other causenick A-holes. Bureaucracy application are available on the table.

I believe that refugee means having to leave the country whereas an internally displaced person (IDP) is within the country.
Regardless, I think that the people that are labeling this as "racism" are confusing it with classism. Although the majority of the people constantly portrayed by the media during this situation are African-American, these were mainly just the people that did not have the means to evacuate. I realize that classism sometimes holds some dimension of racism, I can't imagine the situation would be too different with an equally poor population of a different race.

2nded. My mother-in-law (who is black, by the way) hates his freaking guts becuase he does stupid shit like this all the time (makes everything a racial issue). Mr. Jackson is suffering from a disease we refer to in my house as "attention whoreitis" If someone's not paying him attention all the time, he doesn't feel "special."
And, again let me add to the "why are we even discussing this" thoughts. There are so many bigger issues at hand right now. I seriously doubt that the people being referred to really give a flying fuck what they are being called. |

Refugees seek refuge.
For me, it's as simple as that.
