Notice the tight shot. I bet if you turn that camera around... shithole. Google maps is pretty revealing.

That's not what he's doing at all. Anyone attempting to accuse him of such has their own agenda.

I’ll believe that once he shows some of the reality of Haiti. Right now it’s cooking show and very tight shots to keep the mountains of garbage out of the scene.

I agree. But I'm noticing an inordinate amount of people who are desperately hoping to see people living in poverty and despair re: his trip to Haiti. A spirit that was absent when he visited Armenia, Cuba, South Korea or Germany. All are nations with people living in hardship
-
but few people clamored for him to show those nations' struggling people or areas housing thousands living in adversity. There's something called "poverty porn" that's become an issue re: how some people seek out travel experiences in nations that are predominantly PoC. And ...

liberals are just as guilty of it as conservatives. So I wasn't attacking you. I just wanted to gauge your concern regarding this issue and Conan's trip to Haiti.
