Anderson to Korina: Come to Tacloban, see for yourself
(The Philippine Star) | Updated November 16, 2013 - 12:00am
MANILA, Philippines - CNN news anchor Anderson Cooper has urged ABS-CBN newscaster Korina Sanchez to come to Tacloban City to see the situation on the ground as the American broadcast journalist maintained that his reports about the typhoon-ravaged city were accurate.
In a broadcast from Manila yesterday, Cooper said his coverage of the effects of Typhoon Yolanda has become something political.
“Ms. Sanchez is welcome to go there and I would urge her to go there. I don’t know if she has but her husband’s the interior minister. I’m sure he can arrange a flight,†Cooper said, referring to Interior Secretary Manuel Roxas II.
Cooper was reacting to comments by Sanchez, who criticized him for supposedly reporting inaccurately about the situation in Tacloban.
Early this week, Cooper described the situation in Tacloban as “miserable†and “very very bad.â€
“People are desperate. People do not have any place for shelter. It’s very difficult for people to get food,†Cooper said
“It is a very desperate situation, among the most desperate I’ve seen in covering disasters in the last couple of years,†he added.
