Who ya gonna call?

CNN just showed three phone numbers for hurricane relief — for 10 seconds. Meanwhile, there were graphics littering screen showing the time, the anchor’s name, a crawl across the bottom, “LIVE” in the top corner, a CNN logo, “live from,” and two lines saying things like “HOW YOU CAN HELP”.
Why in the world can’t they have the number for the Red Cross on the screen at all times?

Also, one of the three numbers they showed was Operation Blessing, the corrupt organization run by Pat Robertson — you know, the Christian leader who advocates murder. Why does CNN promote this organization?
