You cut out where I clearly stated it was the official spokesperson for the LA state police that he was talking to. The context also made it clear that I was referring to her when I said 'trooper' in the quote above. She was hired specifically to be the communication front person.
Sheps trying to make up for CNNs good numbers.
Has any foreign country said anything? just wondering
Grab a box of 100 toothpicks, and dump it out on a table. Now, the highest toothpick represents the I90 West highway, the only route out of NO, and every other toothpick represents a pick up location at it points, and where toothpicks cross represent both pick up and drop off locations. Now, if you can remember 250 possible pickup points, and can rattle of directions from any pick up point to every necessary drop off point to reach I90West in less than 10 seconds, you can talk about how that spokesperson failed.
No one at the top of a chain of command should know that off the top of their heads in a on the fly, fluctuating situation. They should be able to hand it off to a working group under their command, and get the info in a period of time not possible for on air 40 second interviews.
You sound condescending and out of your league.
I cut out when you started hammering the kbd.
Ok, so she's a cop spokesperson with nobody handing her info. So what? She doesn't make the plans. Her job is to deliver the party line (or look dumb if she gets nothing.)
The mike-in-your-face ambush journalism is bad-enough in Washington, but it has no place here at all. Background. Find out who she gets her info from. Find out who's supposed to be in charge. Find out if there was a State Plan filed somewhere in the past that was better (just even an internet search.) Anything but just putting some official on the spot to rile up viewers for rating points.
