 Subject: Where's the bomb threat Deb
Message:
Hi Deb, I just caught the tail end of a report on WSB that there is a bomb threat down town. Do you have any information on where it is?

I have no idea - I have had the radio on all day, but not really listening. I am so swamped at work. Trying to recover from the holiday mail and getting ready for the last end of the year. I have about 40 excel spreadsheets to close out - and that means that they have to be recreated for 2006 - YUK!!!! But, I do love my job. Please update us if you hear anything.

My father used to call the telly "the propaganda box!" Boy if he were here 30 years later it would kill him all over again.

Doesn't that endless coverage of circling planes make you want to scream?? Paula Z or, whoever, mumbling for hours as if they are giving some important commentary. News? NOT!
And supposing the plane, when it finally lands, crashed and burned on the runway.
A live broadcast of that DOES NOT have any place in a sane, modern society. The News Honchos are practically drooling at the prospect that it will happen one of these times. Sad.

Well stated Lark! I am watching the Atlanta 4:00 news now and not one mention of the incident about a bomb threat they caught my attention with at about 12:30! Go figure!
I have no faith in the "powers that be" any more. Weather its politics, or the "experts" or just some yahoo touting and spewing, it's all just noise any more. Even when we should be paying attention WHO DO WE TRUST? My personal answer is "*not them!*" Who ever they are....A little good old fashioned common sense and some practical knowledge goes a long way in this old world. Sad commentary isn't it?!

I was the first to admit, for years, that I was a total news junkie! Any of the networks. I'ld soak it all in.
Well, then Katrina, and the coverage more sensational, and more upsetting every minute. Unrelenting, day after day. People dying in New Orleans. No one in command. Anarchy and chaos on my tv screen and I was unable to turn it off. It had me hooked way worse than 9-11, and I was bad over that.
After several days of it I FINALLY had a lightbulb moment . . . all those networks are there with crews, equipment, vehicles; more than likely dozens of tractor-trailers in the vicinity. Why weren't they trucking in water and rations and trucking stranded people OUT?? Well, because it made more profitable television to have them THERE as suffering camera fodder! Shut the tv off that afternoon and have hardly turned it on since.
Oh, except the couple of times I put CNN on in the last few weeks . . . . and there was Paula, mumbling about another airplane circling, circling, circling . . . . ARGHHHHHH!!!!
I'm looking forward to the New Year. Hope some new ideas come with it! :^ )

I so get where you're coming from, but I am addicted to information. Real problem when you want Truly fair and balanced. You have to go to every news out let available and then cull through with your BS filter intact.

I rushed home to watch Fox 5 news - no mention. I grew tired of the media during the first Gulf War, Desert Storm, in which my husband was a "participant". We saw on the news that the ship he was on, USS Iwo Jima, had been hit by a mine before we were contacted by a military offical to tell us that everyone was alright.
If the "enemy" wants to know what we are up to - just turn on Fox 5 or CNN or any other news source - they will tell them all they need to know.

Deb - I say this all the time!! Our news coverage can show the enemy/terrorists everything they want to know about what we are doing, and it's not like they don't have satellite dishes with news coverage from all over the world.
