Nothing personal taken.It wasn't meant to be a thread about rumors and speculation. Quite the opposite. What I was trying to convey was the real on the ground story from the area.

Keep posting the updates. We'll know more in a few days about the Mississippi death toll.

I wondered if the reason your newer thread was first pulled was because it was an Orlando Salinas report. As you may recall, he has been a little quick off the line on a few stories before in Floriduh. I like him and Shep but it's not the same thing as seeing Brit Hume report something.

I checked all the Fox News pages up right now and only found mention of various FEMA trucks, no mention of morgue trucks. The lack of mention of morgue trucks is a bit telling though since we know they have to have them. Still, that means little as FNC's website is really complete crapola. And FNC is using a count of 110 for MS now which doesn't even jibe with CNN's 185.

It seems to me that the complete lack of reporting on the temporary morgues and facilities is kind of suspicious. How do survivors know, for instance, where to go check for relatives and such? I think there's going to be a real story there.

The media's reporting on this tragedy really does open a lot of questions for everyone.

What it is doing is it is leaving no other option other than to have local newspaper editors resort to writing blogs of just how bad the situation is. It is setting off a desperate panic from families across the nation who can no longer accept the excuse of phone lines are down, don't worry...we are sure they are ok.

Sure...there were plenty of survivors inland...totally different towards the coast.

The media's reporting on this tragedy really does open a lot of questions for everyone.

We should never forget that the MSM's job and goal is not just to report the news - it's also to manage the news.
