Well I don't agree with you at all but the US media does tend to be sensationalist. Try the BBC if you don't get on with them. www.bbc.co.uk/news[^] Anna :rose: www.annasplace.me.uk

I've been wathching for more than an hour now and haven't heard terrorism mentioned once except to say that the FBI had ruled it out immediately. That seems harmless enough. Apparently, it doesn't take much for some people to start throwing the racist label around. "Any clod can have the facts, but having opinions is an art." Charles McCabe, San Francisco Chronicle

Ok, this whole space thing. What exactly happened again? I wanna know it all from the very beginning. I tried to read/watch news and it is already assuming that we know what happened. Thanks. :)
The problem is also that there are enough stupid people out there who will start running around thinking it is terrorism. So IMHO, it is best to just shut that down now. I just wish the statements were a bit stronger. Tim Smith I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

It's not all humans. It's just the western media that is like this since it is controlled by people who hate a particular culture/religion. You might be thinking that I believe in a conspiracy theory or something but it is true. The media is highly bias and only shows one side of the story when it comes to worldy affairs, specially CNN. The only way you can check out what's REALLY happening is turning into alternate sources. Japanese news?!?
Please understand this. CNN does NOT reflect the true sincerity and feelings of the "typical American". We are not as stupid and paranoid as the liberal media tends to portray us. Kind regards, Tim

I am hearing the 'T' words again, specially on CNN. How can someone even THINK of this being terrorism. It is so damn bloodly clear that this can't be terrorism. :mad::mad::mad: Damn Racist Media!:mad:
ﻡﺟﻧ_Najm wrote: Damn Racist Media! They're not the least bit racist, and that's a ridiculous statement. The media are all fighting for market share - that's where the advertising $$ are made - and use sensationalism to get viewers to stop clicking the channel selector and watch for a while. Terrorism is currently very much on the minds of people, and just the mention of the possibility, however unlikely, is going to make a few viewers tune in for a few minutes. It's disgusting, but it's based on sound research in human behavior and is known to work. CNN is a top service precisely because they employ such a sensationalist style, they're very good at it, and it works. Very sad... but not racist. Nobody wants to read a diary by someone who has not seen the shadow of Bubba on the prison shower wall in front of them!

I never said it did. The only thing the bugs me is people lieing about that sort of thing in order to turn a tragedy like this into yet another excuse to establish their victemhood at the hands of some aspect of U.S. culture. BTW, I finally heard someone ask about terrorism. It was Peter Jennings of ABC. Damned racist Canadians! :mad: X| "Any clod can have the facts, but having opinions is an art."

ﻡﺟﻧ_Najm wrote: It's just the western media that is like this since it is controlled by people who hate a particular culture/religion. Oh please! Enough already! Just when I was beginning to think there were no US/Mid-East posts today, and was about to open a bottle of beer for that! You had to spoil it, didn't you? And anyway, the media has to sell, so they have to make it sensational. Nothing to do with what people actually feel. So take a chill pill.

Dude, I know the people don't think like that. The people think different. The media doesn't represent the general public, which is exacly opposite to it's purpose. It represents the interests of the US government. My point here is that by showing stuff like that, the people will start believing in to the non-sense they are trying to sell. News is a public service, not a product, thus shalt not be sold but should be done for the public. These days, it's for money. That is why news isn't good anymore.

Columbia broke up at approx. 200,000 feet (60km). At mach 14 (I think thats the reentry speed) it doesn't take much to go wrong :( I know Columbia was an old shuttle, anyone know how may trips it had made ? Rest In Peace :rose: The tigress is here :-D

I heard a figure of 20 something. Supposedly it was designed for 100. I also heard a flight engineer say that ice hits the wings on virtually every flight, so they are dismissive of that as a cause right now.

I think the fact that we had an Israeli on board (the first). There was enhanced security from the beginning because of this. However, it's all a bunch of crap. We shouldn't jump to conclusions and simply show love and support for the families that lost today. They'll figure out what happened in time.

This is horrible. I live in the Dallas area. I was outside this morning taking my dogs for a run when we heard the "boom." Apparently Coluimba was traveling at near MACH 17 when whatever took place. What Would Uncle Steve Do?. -Michael Martin

The shuttle was at an altitude of about 203,000 feet over north-central Texas at 9 a.m., traveling at 12,500 mph, when Mission Control lost all contact and tracking data. There have been 113 shuttle missions, 28 carried out by Columbia I hope they didn't know what happened to them :(( The tigress is here :-D

ﻡﺟﻧ_Najm wrote: It's just the western media that is like this since it is controlled by people who hate a particular culture/religion. Bollocks. That is just the biggest pile of manure I have heard today, and people stupid enough to believe it are the reason our world is on the brink of war. ﻡﺟﻧ_Najm wrote: The media is highly bias and only shows one side of the story when it comes to worldy affairs, specially CNN. The media is more manipulative than deliberately biased IMO. I hate the media, but I don't think it is politically motivated at all, it's just money. ﻡﺟﻧ_Najm wrote: The only way you can check out what's REALLY happening is turning into alternate sources. Japanese news?!? It amuses me greately that people, knowing that one news source is biased, presume that any news source that presents an alternative view, isn't biased at all. Everyone is biased for one reason or another, alternative sources are more likely to have stronger bias, as it's more likely to be politically motivated.
