Industry insiders are aghast at new CNN chief Jonathan Klein's appalling lack of sensitivity to the tsunami disaster in his ongoing media tour today.
Klein told USATODAY that CNN was "able to flood the zone immediately."
"It's jarring," said one news executive. "This guy's obsessed with associating himself with the coverage of this tragedy and he royally sticks his foot in his mouth his first time out of the gate -- could there be a worse choice of words to use after 150,000 people just died in an epic flood of waves?"
I'm thinking, "A huge wave of coverage has hit the island" or "The other news agencies are all washed up" might have been a bit worse. But not much.

I'm sure CNN is thinking that this will flood their ratings and hopefully flood them with advertising dollars. There is nothing like suffering to make the news media feel greedy
