I just posted this comment after today’s Waco Trib story “Court system stressed by bikers’ arrests, judges to brainstorm expediting cases”

My comment:
When are you so-called reporters going to demand to know a few basic facts in this case, facts that are certainly known to the Waco PD and ATF, such as:
HOW MANY ROUNDS WERE FIRED AT THE TWIN PEAKS BY LAW ENFORCEMENT?
Trust me, they know that exact number. Why won’t you “reporters” (sic) in Waco’s paper of record demand to know that number, and report it? At this point, it looks like you have sold your souls to the devil, and are part of the cover up of the Waco Police Massacre.
It’s as if LT Calley made his official report: “Company C just happened to be hiking past the village of My Lai, and there was some kind of a feud breaking out between rival Vietnamese clans. So we stopped it.”
And the Waco Trib just nods and says, “Sounds reasonable to me, LT Calley.”
HEY “REPORTERS,” HOW ABOUT DEMANDING TO KNOW HOW MANY ROUNDS WERE FIRED BY THE WACO PD, SWAT AND ATF???
Don’t you “reporters” have ANY self respect? You might as well be working for Pravda.
Not to mention that “no excessive bail” is right in the Constitution! 170+ arrested on identical “fill in your name” warrants–on million dollar bails–is not an effort to find the truth, but to bury it.
When will a single Waco Trib reporter actually start asking the real questions?
Sorry, I forgot, you just work for “American Pravda.”
Well done. Your comment shows up twice!
And speaking of Pravda, since you gave me a book recommendation (which I have on order) are you familiar with Neil Postman - “Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business”?
It was a paradigm shifter for my world view 30 years ago and his how the media (specifically television) destroys coherence and rationality is as more vital today than ever.
Eons and eons after hell freezes over.
One of the Waco tv stations is squarely in the police’s corner. Can’t remember which one it was and couldn’t save it at the time due to internet connection problems. But about 10-14 days ago they had a “like” thing going on on their news site and asked that people do the same on their Facebook.
