2. If this were Air Force One, it would be a story |
|
A corporate jet with landing gear problems is NOT a story. If it crashes, it's a little story.
This is the air equivalent of a high speed chase.

7. Disappointed because... |

they've spent the last THREE HOURS filling airtime with speculative bullshit while showing live video of the sky around Portland airport. Talk about must-see TV....not.

6. Here's what I've just sent to feedback@msnbc.com: |
|
Your non-stop coverage of the Nike plane is the most egregious waste of television time I've ever seen.
This is a non-story, unless something bad happens, and presumably you could have your cameras there and could show us the possible accident seconds after it happened.
When I think of all the stories you don't cover - - such as the 50- point switch between the pre-election polls and the results of the Ohio election reform referendum two weeks ago - - I am sickened that you are still in posseession of a broadcasting license.
BTW, did you know that the GAO came out with a report on election irregularities in the 2004 Presidential election?
This seems like a pretty important issue, inasmuch as without honest elections we are not even a democracy.
Sincerely,
