Adam Ragusea decries how CNN let down his Floridian family, who huddled around the network for Hurricane Irma news only to be battered by hyperbole and inaccuracy, especially about the devastation’s extent. “Cable news crews with satellite uplinks were the only eyes on the ground that my family had, and all those eyes ever seemed to look at were scenes of devastation,” he writes.
