But most of them don't believe in Christ anyway. Their religion is called the Democratic Party. -- If John McCain gets the 2008 Republican Presidential nomination, my vote for President will be a write-in for Jiang Zemin. |

Either civilian or military. Yet, the main-stream media ran with rumors. At one point, the AP was reporting that the refugees were "feeding on the corpses"... That was the "Associated Press"... The media should be taken to task over their unprofessionalism. Though, they will likely get a pass as long as they continue following the Bush-bashing template. -=jd=- Here's a clue.

From: "-=jd=-" Organization: Little... If any... Newsgroups: rec.radio.shortwave Date: Sun, 11 Sep 2005 17:40:40 GMT Subject: OT How I spent my summer vacation On Sat 10 Sep 2005 09:01:10p, Greg wrote in message : From: "-=jd=-" Organization: Little... If any... Newsgroups: rec.radio.shortwave Date: Sat, 10 Sep 2005 22:52:44 GMT Subject: OT How I spent my summer vacation Limit damage my foot - more like propagate lies, misrepresentations, distortions and compete fabrications. The main-stream media stands the distinct chance of being accused of yelling FIRE in the proverbial crowded theater. They have done an exceedingly horrible job of reporting the facts of this disaster to the point of criminal malfeasance. They have been more concerned with trying to out-dramatize each other and some were running with any unsubstantiated rumor they heard. Part of what they were reporting may have hampered or slowed rescue efforts. Case in point, as of a few days ago, when they were trying to find one for a follow-up interview, no ATC's or pilots could be found to validate they were fired upon by looters. Yet, we heard reports from multiple news agencies that looters were firing on the choppers. This pathetic, self-serving yellow journalism may also explain how the media mis-reported the relief and rescue response in the first few days. -=jd=- -- A quick, random sampling: One ambulance official overseeing the airlift rescue operations said a gunshot was fired at a military helicopter over the Superdome before daybreak. A report that cannot be verified, according to the FAA ATC's who control the airspace... "We have suspended operations until they gain control of the Superdome," said Richard Zeuschlag, head of Acadian Ambulance, which was handling the evacuation of sick and injured people from the building. xxx.foxnews.com Friday, September 02, 2005 There is one example of rescue operations being suspended due to unverified reports. But some Federal Emergency Management rescue operations were suspended in areas where gunfire has broken out, Homeland Security spokesman Russ Knocke said in Washington. Is this about helicopters being shot at -or- gang-wars on the ground? ³In areas where our employees have been determined to potentially be in danger, we have pulled back,² he said. Again, is this about helicopters being shot at -or- gang-wars on the ground? ³Hospitals are trying to evacuate,² said Coast Guard Lt Cmdr Cheri Ben-Iesan, spokesman at the city emergency operations centre. ³At every one of them, there are reports that as the helicopters come in people are shooting at them. There are people just taking pot-shots at police and at helicopters, telling them: ŒYou better come get my family¹.² Another example of rescue operations being suspended due to unverified reports. "...there are reports..." from who? Again, FAA ATC can find no pilots or controllers to confirm any helicopters (either civilian or military) were fired upon. Yet, here you provide evidence that those anonymous, unconfirmed reports impacted rescue operations. But the ambulance service in charge of taking the sick and injured from the Superdome suspended flights after a shot was reported fired at a military helicopter. Richard Zuschlag, chief of Acadian Ambulance, said it had become too dangerous for his pilots. Another example of rescue operations being suspended due to unverified, unconfirmed reports. "...a shot was reported fired..." from who? Again, FAA ATC can find no pilots or controllers to confirm any helicopters (either civilian or military) were fired upon. Yet, here you provide evidence that those anonymous, unconfirmed reports impacted rescue operations. The military, which was overseeing the removal of the able-bodied by buses, continued the ground evacuation without interruption, said National Guard Lt Col Pete Schneider. The government had no immediate confirmation of whether a military helicopter was fired on. So here we have officials with the Nat Guard basically wondering what all the hub-bub was about and continuing to do their job - not panicking over rumors. http://www.breakingnews.ie/2005/09/01/story218818.html 01/09/2005 - 19:07:09 Looks to me like the media was reporting what officials were saying. Looks to me that we have everyone, except the military officials, panicking over unconfirmed rumors. Where did the rumors propagate from? Well, we can say without hesitation that it wasn't the military. It wasn't the FAA/ATC's. One would think that if a pilot knew he was being fired upon, certainly he would have the presence of mind to key his radio and broadcast that interesting little tid-bit. If he did, no other pilot or ATC has yet admitted to hearing it... Ditto with the slow relief efforts - quotes from officials, victims. Criminal? Not at all what I was talking about. I was mentioning the distinct possibility that the media reports based on wholly unconfirmed rumor may have impacted rescue efforts. I made no mention of the overal relief response. Blame the messenger? Hell, you're accusing the messengers of crimes. How disingenuous. The media is where you get all your information, whether it be "liberal", "mainstream", "alternative" or "conservative" media. How disingenuous? Did you not bother to read the info you posted? You've provided further information in support of my concern! LOL! If the main- stream media were knowingly and willingly irresponsible in their reporting, then they share in the liability, if their yellow journalism impacted rescue efforts. This isn't blaming the messenger, this is holding them responsible for *inventing* news instead of *reporting* news. If they are reporting unverified, unconfirmed rumors as fact (with a complete lack of caveats) then they are wrong. The right to free speech does not include shouting "FIRE" in a crowded theater... You must feel really stupid. I feel just fine. How do you feel after posting information that further bolsters the concern I raised? -=jd=- -- I forgot how confused you get. Let me simplify: The media wasn't spreading rumors. They were reporting what officials were saying. There is a difference. Rescue and evacuations were being suspended and people were asking why (oh, the temerity of some people!). Officials on the ground were saying it was because the helicopters were being shot at. Can you hear me now? Greg |
