That is tough to watch. And it's tough to imagine how even a reporter would not want to get involved and help in some way. I understand the importance of distance and of telling the story, but why not tell it and then help?

I don't think the reporter is carrying enough food to keep him alive. plus, you have to understand that when an animal is in a starvation state there is a special diet to follow... dropping a leg of deer or half a seal next to him won't save him it might not even be able to chew it. This was is faith there was nothing the crew could do, it's tragic that's what it is... but it's also real and unfortunately he wasn't the first and won't be the last.
Good points. One could argue that feeding the bear also would simply postpone the inevitable and that it may bring the bear even closer to human habitation (if there were any nearby) if it became accustomed to scraps. But still...
Yes! and if they're even that concerned about the polar bear, why not help and then tell the story of how they nursed it back to health...
That would be ideal in nature!!!
