Rush is making a logical mistake....

He is RIGHT when he criticizes the MSM for disparaging the miners..."Why do they do that job? Can't they do anything else?"

He is WRONG when he is critical of live reports when things are streaming all around you.

Here's an example that might be closer to home (an actual story I have covered}:

You are live in front of a burning house...a portion of the roof collapses...you ask anyone in the vicinity if they know if there were any firefighters in that section of the building.

You hope you have presence of mind to say..."Of course, that is not an official report" but you're just getting as much information as you can.

Or that it's believed that there are/aren't firefighters in that section of the building.

I sat up last night till 1:30 EST, waiting for verification from the mining company officials and heard nothing. Why? Did the MSM even try to get a statement from them? I just saw Whorealdo making a total a$$ of himself. IMHO I hold the MSM and the mining company officials to blame on this one. Both of their actions were lethargic and unprofessional
