Good rant. I concur, the media is as large a part of WHY this happened as is government. They failed to serve the public. Not only that, after contributing to the loss, the media is attempting to use the catastrophe to advance a political agenda.
When the city is evacuated, they can have it. I'm gonna do what I can to facilitate a swift evacuation to safety.
The Watch Dogs were barking up the wrong tree. <- Better rant than mine ;-)
choppers moving into evac from those overpasses now. I'm confused why they need helicopter rescues there, it is accessible by road.
isn't it about time we looked a just WHO the "media" is: a bunch of over-educated, under-experienced, locked-in-their-ivory-tower JERKS.
Most wouldn't know HOW to investigate, or even where to start, other than with their conclusion that meets their own agenda. The rest of the story would lead, inevitably, to that pre-set conclusion.
For instance .. let's look at Helen THomas's buttboy at the White House, the little wuss Terry Moran. Or David Gregory. Any of them. What qualifies THEM to question so arrogantly what President Bush has done? Where did they go to school? Where have they lived? What are their life experiences outside the White House and/or pressrooms? Who do they socialize with? are they married, and to whom? Have any of them ever started and/or run a company? Met a payroll? To what charities do they contribute, and how much? Same for politicians .. to whom do they contribute and how much ... or do they contribute through their wives, lovers, friends and/or child(ren) ? What private clubs do they belong to? And what private schools do they send their children to? I really want to know WHO these people are who pontificate and act as if we are supposed to believe them.
