Hey did ya'll see Keith Olbermann's show tonight? I did and there
Edited on Mon Sep-12-05 09:22 PM by texpatriot2004
was this really sickening thing that I saw. In one segment there was this closed door and on the door there was a sign that read, "DO NOT ENTER." When the door was pushed open there were bodies, actually, dead American citizens (from my view they looked like elderly people) laying all over the floor, they covered the entire room. Did you guys see that? That was really creepy. I mean what if the journalists hadn't been there? What if the Government officials had said the journalists wouldn't be allowed in that part of the disaster area? More importantly, what would have happened if CNN hadn't filed a lawsuit to protect our rights and the rights of the free press? Thank God for at least some people at CNN and thanks also to MSNBC; I think they may have helped save our Democracy.

oops. edit for correction of Keef's name :patriot:

1. Yes. The press is mad as hell and they aint gonna take it anymore, IMO!
I also believe that they are the reason the people in the Superdome and the Convention Center FINALLY were evacuated.

peace.

9. That's the feeling that I get too. I am so proud of the work
that they have done, well most of them have done in the last two weeks. I am so grateful that they aren't going to take it anymore. Plus, they seem to be giving it back. YES!

said if we want the news we get it from the internet(s) and TV news is becoming more and more irrelevant every day. Well, me and everybody else on DU that sent emails.:headbang:

2. That was one of those...

Sheets pulled right up to white hair and the floor was covered.

What a crappy way to go after living a long life. In New Orleans no less.

4. they are seeing UP CLOSE what can happen on our soil for a change
its one thing to them when it happens somewhere else and they can claim its too dangerous or repeat the talking points etc

but this tragedy in their own backyards seems to have woken up a few people
not keith of course since he has been almost alone in reporting some important things
but now that they are seeing the level of what is happening at home on bush watch well then that is grabbing some attention

cant believe what it has taken

5. Only 167 dead. No worries.
That's the last count I heard. Although just today I heard of 40 bodies in the hospital, another 10 in another location. 50 right there. Plus what you saw on teevee.

We're being LIED TO again, America!

8. and just imagine how many
"DO NOT ENTER"

Doors are NOT being opened and not being shown.

I am also convinced that a substantial number of bodies were likely cremated in all those fires that were burning

One can only hope that the SURVIVORS will help keep track: I mean, most people have to have known someone who will be able to verify the fact of their now terminated existence on this planet (though this gets difficult when whole families were wiped out I suppose)
