I have found myself wondering how long people will allow this mess to go on?
The news nowdays is nothing more than a bunch of morons feeding the sheep a bunch of crap in order to fuel their own fires.
Case in point. A story was broken about a fuel shortage (which was false). Everyone rushed out to fill everything that would hold liquid with fuel, driving price gouging and actually creating a fuel shortage.
After Rita , actually during, some good friends of ours drove out to Miss. to take some goods to another group of friends who have been forced by Katrina to live in a house w/ 20 other people. We talked to them on the phone last night and they were commenting on stories in the news about damaged lines and cell towers causing a loss of service. They were in the area, last night, after the storm, and we were talking to thm on these supposed damaged cell towers. Today we tried to call and can't get through. There is just a message saying the hurricane damaged communications. We talked to them last night AFTER the storm and it was fine.
What gives?
When will the media realize that their "vehicle" is actually causing more harm than good? Either they, the public, or the law needs to crack down on the media. Change them from sensationalism, to reporting truth, facts, and/or sometimes even something positive!!!!
