Yeah, I can't ever figure out which one it is. I wish the democratic party would clarify that for me. Is he a bumbling idiot, or is he a criminal mastermind that concoted wars around the world to pad his pockets. I'm so glad I have them in congress to figure it all out for me, because when I look at it (with my inferior mind) he appears to just be an honest guy doing the best job he can. They're all Rhodes scholars and doctors, though, I'm sure they know more about it than me.

Oh by the way, all the media was doing was asking important people what they have seen or heard. And these people just listened to the people spreading rumors and those rumors were reported. Blame the media for just believing them but not for making shit up

i blame the media though too man. You know the media is all about ratings and sensationalism. there are no ratings in saying "everything is calm and people are ok" lol. Shit, i watched so much coverage of that shit...and it was makin me sick. I dont know how many times they interviewed someone who was stranded by the hurricane, and the person being interviewed was keeping positive and saying they were ok. This is how the interview would go...
Interviewer-"Tell us how bad things are in New Orleans"
Person being interviewed-"Its bad, but we're doin ok...just trying to stay positive"
Interviewer-"Yeah, but tell us how this tragedy has destroyed your life"
Person being interviewed-"We lost everything, but we have faith in God and we'll make it through this"
Interviewer-"We've heard news of rapes and angry mobs with weapons terrorizing innocent people in the Superdown.."
Person being interviewed-"I havent witnessed anything like..."
Interviewer-"Sorry...we've ran out of time....good luck..."
lol

yeah. thing is, the media WAS probably gettin inflated accounts of what was really goin on. im sure people were blowin it up....because thats what everyone does. My beef with tha media is only this...they KNOW whats the truth and whats not. they handpicked the right people...that would tell them the right thing for the camera, that would get them ratings. the media imo has a responsibility to report the truth (yeah....even Fox news, dont count on it happenin anytime soon tho lol). so when they dont, even if its because they got false information...their responsible for it. they should investigate further before just throwin anything on the news.
