God Bless your daughter and the rest of the Kentucky Emergency Serices. They are the real heros that many don't hear about because of the crassness of the MSM.
Fair & Balanced.
And Unafraid.

25 ambulances showing up is GOOD news, especially when a hurricane has wiped out your town and you might not have medical supplies available...
Beaumont wasn't wiped out. It did suffer pretty substantial damage. No deaths have been reported in Beaumont accoding to the city paper the Beaumont Enterprise.
In a sense "good news" shouldn't really BE news - it should be just normal activity, and what one would expect. "Bad news" is news because it is out of the ordinary.
I don't need to have my news edited down or sugar coated. I want to know the worst what's happening.
Rita -- are ya finished? Oh yeah, wrong network now.
Uh, let me know if those care givers showing up for the injured at your next car wreck is good news or not?
Good news doesn't get ratings. Or so they think. The more horrible, bloody, disgusting, or immoral a story is, the more the media will run with it. If it's a feel good warm puppy story, it's not worth their time.
God bless those who are there to help..I am a voluntary evacuee whose area dodged the bullet and am in Waco..We are without cable and I am almost glad..I can listen to traffic updates on my little radio...(REALLY BAD on 45 the route we took out..) and know that people in east Texas really caught it..along with Louisiana
I say kudos to all who aid , help, stand ready to help, in any way..This Texan appreciates you.
Good News and News Worthy are not the same thing. If you have your home inspected for termites and you don't have any it's "good news". However, I don't think that channel 7 should be at your door to report it to your home town as it is not "news worthy".
The fact of the matter is that most calls to 911 are false alarms and no action is taken by the first responders. If those first responders show up and have to save a life or put out a fire it is "news worthy". If they show up and have no work to do then that's "good news." In the case in question you had 25 ambulances standing around with nothing to do. Good news...but not news worthy good news.
Whatever
FoxNews showed about a 30 second clip of our people in Washington at the Support our Troops rally. Then she felt compelled to explain why we were marching so she goes into an explanation of who Cindy Sheehan is and started showing yesterdays moonbat march again. I noticed if the media reports on anything pro America or pro Bush, they always manage to turn the attention back to the liberals.
That would be a whole lot more interesting then watching a silly reporter hanging on to a tree while the wind blows and the camera goes back to a blowing sign for the hundredth time in 2 hours.
I wonder why she left FoxNews. I always liked her. Shes a lost cause now.
They sure did enough of those at the Astrodome after Katrina.
Well I can't argue on that one. :)
Not for nothing, but Tony Blankley now on C-Span2 "After Words" program with Barbara Slavin, USA Today's senior diplomatic editor. My question off topi, is this a fluff title? Is this Slavin a committed MSM drone?
