Re: The Media . . .

Hi, Scott.

I'm getting extremely tired of their crap. You send a reporter to a trauma scene, and all he can seem to harp on is the trauma. They look for gloom in everything.

I was watching NBC's coverage last night, and there's this jerk speaking with a woman and her teenage son. They came to Manhattan to find her husband, leaving fliers with his picture at the various emergency medical centers, taping them with literally hundreds of other pictures to the sides of the parked ambulances. His approach to the situation?

"So, how do you fell right now?"

disgusted, I switched to CBS. Well, they seem to have their own jerks. A surgeon who stopped receiving casualties early yesterday morning went out to assist in the digging at the Trade Center. So, what did this putz say to him?

"With approximately 10 stories of rubble still needing to be moved, I imagine it must be very, very hard for you, a medical man, to imagine there may be survivors just below the surface, but that you might never be able to reach them in time."

Then came ABC's little gem. An absolute moron, standing there at what is now referred to as "ground zero", asking a firefighter to describe the condition of the bodies he's been pulling out.

Less than human, the lot of them,
Dan
