I think that Sheriff Moose has a dislike for the media and find it cumbersome to his job. I think he would rather be investigating than to make numerous scheduled unecessary updates, when there has been no change or progress in the ongoing investigation. Answering or not answering repeated stupid questions that should not be asked in the first place. I believe that if LE has something important that the citizens need to know they will inform us.

Constantly Fox, MSNBC has news alerts flashing on the screne all day, when in actuality some are not news alerts. The media has stepped over the line in their quest for ratings.

Remember the media mini series of the 3 medical students on their way to Florida and the female Georgia tipster. Holy cow, that took 2 weeks, every news talk show, attorneys, and the tipster being hospitalized just because some in the news media want to be first to get the story out, even before they actually know what is going on. Reporting half truths, lies, opionions, exaggerations, and what have you. And then they have the audacity to wonder why one does not want to be interviewed.

If anyone is stupid, I think that title belongs to some of the media crowd because they ask stupid questions that they know cannot and/or will not be answered.

Some are not as articulate as others. I believe if there was not someone there to write GWB's speeches for him, he would consistantly come out with all his guns ablazing and still receive cheers and applause. Its all in who you are. Just think about Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson Some on here applaude him but that is because he is agaist Jesse Jackson. But I have never heard any reference about his speech pattern. Don't know much about Charles Moose, but from day one it was obvious that he was thrushed in a limelight that he does not enjoy. After all this is not COPS.

That's odd! He spends more time in front of the cameras than Jesse Jackson!

Charles Moose was Portland Mayor Vera Katz's first police chief, at 39 the youngest ever to be appointed to that job and the first African American as well. By breaking the color barrier with Moose, who had worked at the bureau for 18 years, Katz burnished her reputation as one who would hire the best candidate available, regardless of color. While Moose's record was eventually a mixed one -- his support for community policing and his personal integrity were undercut by his volatility -- there was little question at the time that Moose deserved the nod.
