The media is jumping to conclusions or making assumptions BEFORE proof is presented. The downed helicopter was a civilian craft. There were 2 civilians on board and they both survived with minor cuts/bruises. It was a Coast Guard helicopter that came to the rescue. The cause of the crash was unknown. However, the news media Presented Speclative information and tried to "correlate" the location of the shooting to the location of the helicopter. There were 5-6 gun men who had opened gun fire on Core Engineer workers. The police returned fire and killed the shooters. Why the gang was shooting at the workers is still unkown.
I first saw the pictures of the downed helicopter and assumed it was a coast guard one as well at first. The reporter stated it was one. I took a closer look and it didn't match a typical Coast Guard helicopter or have it's markings. About 5 minutes after that, they announced it was civillian.
That got me even more furiated at the press! There doesn't seem to be anymore "Professional Journalist" anymore. Is it just me or is there a decline in journalism? A professional journalist should provide the pictures but offer no exact details until officials report it. A cause of this helicopter crash can't be determined until the FAA makes a determination. NOT the press!
I say give us a media break!!! Let the pictures say the words not the paid cut throat journalist out to make a name for themselves. I can't stand one more journalist expressing opinions and then saying "but that isn't confirmed...." They put the "elephant" in the room and leave it Quite frankly, I am tired of picking up Elephant dung!!! No wonder the government gives away cheese! They are trying to attract mice to scare the elephant's away!!!
