Could it be that the MSN, with it's insatiable appetite for overreporting dramatic news events, could be responsible for relief worker's apprehension in entering the disaster area. I just heard two reporters, within five minutes of each other, on Good Morning America, say that everything was peaceful in the effected area, and plead with the audience to send help. They themselves, including little miss perky pants and Matt Blower, speculated that they may have been blowing the situation out of perspective. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen and heard it.
On NBC's Today, Carlo Quintinia, said that ambulance drivers were refusing to go downtown and he said that contrary to perception, this is not a riot zone.
I also saw Carlo two days ago say that people were getting upset and they were pushing him and his crew in the chest saying/demanding help.
The media has an agenda and you can't believe what they are telling you. Their first agenda may have been ratings where they show the worst behavior. Or maybe the behavior was even worse than they showed, you just don't know. And now that the rescue workers are afraid to do their jobs, the media is downplaying the chaos, or maybe it is worse than ever, or maybe things really have calmed down, you just don't know.
THE MEDIA IS BIASED AND HAS AN AGENDA AND CAN NOT BE TRUSTED.
I assume you meant the Mainstream Media, and not the Microsoft Network? Perhaps the title needs changing.
