Books and a water bottle!

Isn't the MSM encouraging the terrorists to bring our country to a halt by leaving coolers and back packs around?

The media has WAY OVER REPORTED this Times Square story. Probably because they're sooo narcissistic that they think the whole revolves them. It's normal for MSM media companies to focus on this since most of their headquarters are in NY but enough is enough!

We have important things going on. The oil spill, Nashville, Greece and market glitches...

Is it too much to ask that just ONE channel resist the urge to run with the herd?

We need media reform. As in breaking up the media companies by using the anti-trust laws.

We desperately need DIVERSITY and they are just unable to get their shit together.

You think they would have some inkling by now that there is something wrong with their companies since they've been losing money for three straight years but NO!

They just don't get it!

The news is too important to be in the hands of a small group of idiots!

2. Actaully that is SOP
and many years ago, AFTER 9.11, call it training, I actually reported an abandoned briefcase at a mall to the local cops. Yes I DID call 9.11. And you know what? They came in, they took it away, and exploded it... and you know what? That is why PAYING attention means. Granted this should not be a major story... which only tells me this is NOT routine yet.

But countries that have had a small problem with actual terror, people call these things in ALL THE TIME.

So if you go visit London or Tel Aviv, don't forget a bag.

3. MSNBC is still showing "BREAKING NEWS: Suspicious package found"
The story is already over, it isn't "breaking" anything. Yet the MSM can't seem to stop.
