The Media sensationalizes just about everything to try to get better ratings. They try to make hurricanes look worse than they actually are (not saying this one wasn't really bad) so people tune in, and then they blame it on man made climate change. We've had bad hurricanes well before man, and mans industrialization as well as more extreme weather, and extreme shifts in climate.
Here, if you are interested in the truth, here are statistics and facts regarding the intensity and frequency of hurricanes over the centuries:
AKA: I started a discussion to prove another liberal conspiracy, and tried to call reporting of a devestating hurricane as "fakenews". I got called out on it, and now I want to go hide.
It still cracks me up that this is the group of society that calls OTHER PEOPLE snowflakes.
What possible motive or agenda can the previous posters and the OP have for these ugly and angry words? Damage and destruction from a storm and the pics and evidence of the strength of hurricanes is what it is. It is cuckoo bird time if you are trying to use this "for fill in the blank", because this disaster is not something to argue about and divide people.
C'mon. What happened to uniting with each other to help our fellow citizens or at least be empathetic with other humans who share this planet?
Shame, shame, shame…………..
P.S. This poster used Is what it is to mean: simply and profoundly a hurricane and natural disaster Of course a discerning reader knows that.
Welll said - thank you.
The news media is also helping people contact relatives using their satellite phones, providing water and whatever else they can, including comfort to people standing and looking at a razed home.
What has the OP done for the victims besides whine about the media?
They are not the villains, and bashing the media over nothing is starting to feel like stale overkill.

Right wing media dupes have their marching orders, the media are the new devil as dictated by those who control their feeble minds, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Donald Trump.
Ya the damage is bad but of course as usual they show 10 wiped out houses from the air but won't zoom out so you can see the hundreds of others around them that are just fine.
I feel bad for the victims of this storm, first the storm itself then comes the swarm of low IQ authoritarians that won't let them go back to their houses.
If you've ever been through a major hurricane you'll know that the devastation shown by the media is only a very small portion of how your life has changed for the worst. Living on a barrier island just south of Charleston, SC when hurricane Hugo hit, we had 7, yes 7 trees fall through our home. What I can tell you is that we were lucky, we still had our home. The closer you got to the ocean, the less homes were left standing. The news tries to get it all in, but the camera can only show so much. Before you go blaming this hurricane on the fake news, get off your couch and go volunteer to clear the trees off the roads for these poor Floridians. That will give you a new perspective of just how much damage a major hurricane does....
"it is what it is"
An expression used by people when they are attempting to be insightful but either have no clue what to say next, are incapable of coming up with something meaningful/intelligent to say, or would prefer to change the subject altogether.
A trite, overused and infuriatingly meaningless cliche that is utilized by provincials who think they are adding some deep, meaningful insight during a discussion when all they are offering is senseless, unwarranted repetitiveness to what would otherwise be a far better conversation had they not shown the shallowness of the gene pool they spawned from by using this asininely useless and redundant phrase to begin with.
Doesn't it all come down to "what the meaning of is, is?" At least that's what Bill Clinton said...LOL
