If I could actually have any less respect for the MSM

I am watching the MSNBC replay of the morning of 911 and when the first tower collapses it takes three to four minutes for Katie Couric, Matt Lauer, and Tom Brokaw to say the tower fell. And it was Matt Lauer who finally said said the tower collapsed.

It is unbelievable that this profession has gone so low that people are afraid to report what they clearly saw with their own eyes.

3. I was watching at the time.

I didn't notice it at first either. In fact until they showed a clearer angle, I simply refused to believe that it had collapsed.

4. I agree that it was shocking and hard to comprehend.

And at the time it took me a few seconds to realize what happened. But watching the replay was mind boggling, the picture of the collapse kept being replayed but none of them would say it because they weren't told what to say. The today show host finally came out and said what he saw.

It just seems to me that unless they are told what to say, they won't come out and say it. And these are the people that too many rely on to give them "news."

5. Well they ARE just talking heads.

They are used to working off script.
