On todays Wall to Wall. . . . "Shots Fired" coverage:
Now we know that one phone call, from one person, to the Capitol police paralyzed the big House office building all day.

So does everybody else. What can those who wish to harm this country (from the outside) think of this? Could there have been less responsible reporting than what was done all day from the offices of CNN, MSNBC and FOX?

I listened to an idiot woman on MSNBC trying her damnedest to get people to speculate about the possibility of dirty bombs and terrorist attacks... shrieking about the ambulances, oblivious to the fact,(mentioned to her more than once), that these ambulances were a standard rollout for any alert.

I could only shake my head in wonderment as I turned it off...

1. A few well-placed/timed phone calls could easily paralyze
the whole damned country.

2. Oh yes, and the cameras.
The ones in the garage (or pking lot?) that had no film/tape in them. Yikes.

3. Well, I understand there was a casualty. A policewoman fell off a curb
or something.

4. DEAD ON
Thank you Anna for your observation.
It's all the same.

Duke rape case: Oh, my God!
Natalie Holloway: Oh, my God!
Runaway Bride: Oh, my God!
Terry Schiavo: Oh, my God!
Clinton marriage: Oh, my God!
Gays: Oh, my God!
Anything: Oh, my God!

We really suck.
Is it any wonder we are 24th in the world when it comes to a free press?

9. Fearmongering
and probably something fishy.

Recall, today Bush also closed access to Jefferson's files seized by the DOJ.

They were gathering up incriminating evidence.
