Anderson Cooper, "How in God's name did this happen?". Oh dear, Anderson is back in full Katrina mode!!!
Presser coming up
The Press Lied People have Died
Useless a holes all of them
Anderson Cooper is pulling out all the cliches.
"You hear about the fog of war", he says. "this is a stunning development", he says.
Ben Hatfield, President International Coal Group, says the false information that there were many survivors was a "miscommunication".
"A thorough investigation will be held, with our full cooperation", he says.
I have no idea how this news of 12 survivors was allowed to hang out there for 3 hours. Someone must have known that was untrue. Why didn't they say something?? How could they let the families believe for so long that their loved ones were alive when they in fact weren't??
This was such a monumental screwup by someone and a very cruel one. Those poor families were put on an unbelievable emotional rollercoaster. Someone needs to explain this. I can understand how false information gets out but I have no idea how it is allowed to stay out there for 3 HOURS!!!
A terrible blunder by the media and whoever was in charge of public relations with that company.
I heard a FOX reporter on Sean Hannity's program today, and Sean was a bit angry with him, because he seemed cagey with the facts. Obviously, the mining company was giving out facts with an eye dropper because they wanted to "confirm" everything. Problem was, they didn't have a leash on the crummy MSM, which was ready to explode with news (good or bad) and was so cocked and loaded they couldn't control themselves.
