I know a lot of people don't like the media but after working at a television station for 5 years in Oklahoma City (immediately following the bombing) I know the majority of these people are just like me and you.  They are parents who have to go home to small children; brothers, sisters, spouses, daughters & sons.  They are up close and at the front (along with rescuers) seeing the horror first-hand and having to remain calm to video tape it or talk about it to viewers.  I saw several of them leave the business because they just couldn't handle it anymore.  They work long hours.  The news never stops and they get little rest.  They cry when they are off camera just like we all do. Many of them are traumatized and in therapy.  Please pray for them too.  I know their jobs won't be easy for the next several weeks.
