If you're looking to watch "Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief" on Friday night, you won't have any trouble finding it.
The two-hour, star-studded telethon is set to be one of the most widely distributed prime-time televised benefits in history, appearing simultaneously on more than 25 networks - including CNN, where Anderson Cooper will report live from Haiti during the event.
Other networks airing "Hope for Haiti" include ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, BET, The CW, HBO, MTV, VH1 and CMT. The show will even air on the Discovery's eco-lifestyle television network, Planet Green.
MTV is presenting the benefit, which will be helmed by Oscar-winning actor George Clooney in Los Angeles, California, and musician Wyclef Jean from New York. CNN's Anderson Cooper will report live from Haiti.
Plenty of entertainers have joined the roster to raise awareness about the earthquake in Haiti that has left tens of thousands dead and many more homeless and injured.

How a global body responds to a global crisis where we are in the testing stages. Katrina was a national response with Haiti bringing it up a notch to a global response real time real time and monitored on a level current Media remains lacking in.
Government, Industry, Finance, Academic, Military, Media, Religion(spirituality+ethics) and the Peoples. Nervous system, arms and legs, arteries and veins with money acting as the blood flow/currency/current. Immune system, ears, eyes and growing voice. The heart and the skin holding it all together. What is being put/brought together is not really seen as it should be seen and Media partially to blame for that.
Treated as separate systems independent of one anothyer when in reality they are all part of one operating system based on the human body itself. Global leaderships do not know this as it was just explained to CNN and the reading public.
When you put the Academic, Media and Military in a working situation it really does work with the work George is dong a physical example to these words. Finance is at work as well is it not. The blood flow. No flow..no go Peoples.
Leave a part to the body of Humanity uncared for it could become sickly and canerous killing off that entire body real time real time. Now pay attention to the lesson being delivered and the lesson plan all are a part of.
How a global body responds to a global crisis. To house, feed, cloth and care for an entire nation/body of peoples in need of proper care and administration.
I will be sure to watch. I am looking forward to seeing these artist and come to the aid of the least of My people.
