Media LOVES Disaster!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

The media has been having a field day today!

Fox reports a dam in MA is in danger of breaking beause of the rain. They have been watching it all morning. UNITL there was a press converence and the experts said the dam was in no worse shape than it was yesterday. The reporters kept asking the "experts" if they were sure.

In Baltimore, there were terrorists threats against two tunnels. The reporters were concerned about the traffic being backed up because the tunnels were closed. HELLO!!! Be concerned because people might be killed if this turned out to be real; not because there is a lot of traffic.

Now, something I'm sure we will all hear more about in the days to come than we could ever want to: Tropical Storm Wilma is now a Hurricane. Oh, they don't know if it's even going to come to the US but I think they will be sooo disappointed if it doesn't. They are already sure it won't effect the oil refineries in the gulf. I can just hear sobbing from all the price gougers who have been hitting us with higher prices. They can't use Wilma as an excuse to hit us further. I'm sure they will find some other reason though.

I thought of another story that got BLOWN WAY OUT THERE!

Remember that plane a few weeks ago . . . the landing gear got stuck and they had to fly around for hours before they could try to land . . . and then, according to every news channel, it was going to be a horrible incident, a terrible crash!!!

I was watching one of the news channels and they had this guy on that was desperately trying to tell everyone that it would be fine . . . there was no way that it would cause any deaths or anything . . . that the pilot was awesome and this wasn't the first time this had happened . . . the news anchors didn't seem to want to hear that!

And then it landed . . . PERFECTLY! No incident at all.

Ahem,

You left out that the plane circled the place where most stupid stories get started........Los Angeles, Cah Lee Fuh Nee Ah...

I raced home that day.......I wanted to see the sparks, not the accident, as the tires ground down to the rims....

Kinda like a NASCAR race.

That was kinda neat! That pilot was GOOD! He not only landed it without sending it up into flames . . . that front wheel was dead center of the runway!!!

Do you think that the media and the oil industry are in this together? If they make ALL of these hurricanes into serious disasters, we'd have to understand the gas price hikes, right?

Wouldn't surprised me in the least if some of the media companies owned stock in the oil companies.
