You know what the problem is here? Twitter.

People today think that a Twitter feed is "real news" and run with it.

I don't like or watch CNN but I have no doubt in my mind that the CNN reporter tried to help as much as possible in this situation and the camera operator kept the tape rolling. I suspect that the "wardrobe change" probably happened after the reporter initially went into the water (the water temp is probably pretty low). He possibly went back to his truck/van and put on a pair of rain pants to aid in keeping him warm (just my speculation) and went back to the situation.

As much as I don't like CNN, I certainly don't buy the whole "staged" thing, especially if the source is Twitter.

There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't.
