The media needs to SHUT UP about Times Square!

They have talked INCESSANTLY about a terrorist attack that DIDN'T HAPPEN!

NOBODY CARES! DUH!

4. And stop telling
why it did not go off, and describing in detail how to make it work . Shut up about successful explosive devices.

6. Anyone with internet access can access that information
Seeing that internet access can be gained from a GO phone these days....they can talk all they want about how to make a bomb. It has no effect on people's knowledge if they desire it, on the subject.

More troubling is the obsession with fear mongering of terrorism and avoidance of the largest man-made ecological disaster possibly ever.

7. Stupid isn't it.
The diarrhea of the mouth just won't stop. How the bomb was made, the ingredients, what went wrong - he used the wrong fertilizer. :mad:

Then 'they' outlined all the steps taken to capture the terrorist. Hey, wouldn't want he next one to make the same mistakes. :wtf:

11. Nope, gotta do it all -- O can walk and chew gum at the same time!
The administration can attend to all these issues.

Have some confidence!

And, by the way, I am submitting daily comments at www.WhiteHouse.gov asking for immediate action on those Mining Divisin corrupt administrators ... and it is corrupt not to follow mandates of the law and regulations governing your own agency and deep-sixing environmental reports.

If a good part of the DU membership would do the same, we'd make some real progress on that issue.

2. They don't want to talk about an event that actually did kill people
And is killing the Gulf of Mexico. Last Sunday CNN spent the entire DAY on the explosion that never happened. They love the terra. Just not terrafirma.

3. I hear ya
Terror and War are good for the news business and it is a business. How can they look themselves in the mirror.
They're either Willfully Ignorant, Criminally Stupid or Liars. I think Liars.

5. Why do you think they are talking about Time Square?
They aren't narcissistic fuckers, they like money. BP and the other titans of the petroleum industry spend quite a good amount of money advertising on their programing.

Why would you expect anyone to bite the hand that feeds them?

8. They have to keep fear-mongering over the bungled Times Square
bomb. How else could the American people go along so willingly with the Pakistan War?

13. I don't think it's working though. Most people I know
are beginning to feel we have nothing to worry about if the 'fearful terrorists' are so incompetent they can't get their bombs out of their underwear before being noticed. Or parking a smoking vehicle in the middle of NYC right next to where cops are riding around on horseback, not to mention vendors and tourists etc. who just might notice something out of place with a badly parked, smoking car.

They really belong in the 'stupid criminals' section of the news imho. Personally I feel reassured that if this is the reult of all that 'training' they're getting from Al Queda, we can all relax.

10. No shit. It was a FAILURE you dipshits. As was the underwear bomber, the shoe
bomber, etc.

Meanwhile, BP is getting away with murder. As is Wall St.

The MSM has become completely worthless in this country.

14. Well that's not as disgusting as all the breathless obsessing every time Sarah farts.
Now Orly, that's a different story. Haven't seen one of her episodes lately.
