I Wish...
-
...that the media would stop referring to New York as "Ground Zero". I also wish they'd dump the cheesey overly-dramatic music, and stop showing the airliners impacting the towers. They should concentrate on delivering the news instead of speculating and just plain making crap up. They're over-reporting and should fall back to "special reports" only when something relevant has happened (or is currently happening), such as finding the other black boxes or survivors in the wreckage, troop movements, or additional terrorist actions. It's time to move forward with purpose and resolve, and kick the living crap out of every terrorist we can find.

I totally agree.

My pet peeve at the moment is the media's (and I noticed in an email today at work where we were reminded that the company would honour a three-minute silence): "the victims of the tragedy in New York" or "the victims of the tragedy in New York and Washington DC" what about the poor victims in the fourth aircraft? Are they less victims because they didn't hit a building? Ray.

You've got to remember that the media get off on this kind of thing. They will do anything and everything to ensure viewers or readers. Sadly they'll milk the tragedy for all it is worth and then move on. Next week they'll be having a go at your President for not doing anything and the following week they'll be live in Baghdad or Kabul watching the missles fly in. Whatever increases advertising revenue. Oh and on behalf of my country (England), I'd like to apologies for the way your Ambassador was treated on our Question Time programme. It was a complete disgrace. http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/entertainment/tv_and_radio/newsid_1544000/1544897.stm Michael

The media's reports were good at first but now they are just repeating the same. They should continue normal programming until new stuff appears. Osama Bin Laden should dropped from the Empire State so he feels what many felt when falling.

(From Michael's link) "Some audience members said the US was ultimately responsible for the attack because of their foreign policy." :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: How can anyone say that killing some 5,000 (or maybe more) civilians is an appropriate response to a foreign policy? Michael, at least one American knows that these people don't speak for you or the other people in your country. While we're forming a wish list, how about the media canning the speculation? It seems like too often during these events the media only seems to fuel rumors instead of dispelling them. Craig Dodge A catchy signature should appear here.

Couldn't agree more, but the 'news' has not been about news for a long time. It's about ratings, and getting plebs to watch something that doesn't require them to think, but reminds them of how they already feel. The day of the Port Arthur shootings, I turned on the TV to see the man who lost his family being interviews and asked how he felt and what he would say to the gunman. That's not news, but it rates well. Christian As I learn the innermost secrets of the around me, they reward me in many ways to keep quiet. Men with pierced ears are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought Jewellery.
