Meron: hahahaha Meron: "You should see it, [Geraldo is] running around like a chicken with his head cut off," said one Fox watcher in Kirkland, Wash. "Fox News needs to pull his reports now! The man is trying to start a riot. I have never seen anything so irresponsible."
Meron: Meron: "I turned it off. It was ridiculous," said another viewer. "The people there seemed well-mannered, particularly considering the length of their ordeal. But Geraldo seemed like he needed a slap across the chin like a frightened heroine in an old-time western. Get a grip Geraldo. If you want to play in the adult world, act like an adult."
oh dear.... (source of this

They should use the plasma TVs to surf down the street, that's what they should do.
Most of the ''talking heads'' have been pretty damn good, at least on CNN. You can tell the politicians and FEMA heads and generals and whoever are nervous and can't answer half the questions satisfactorily. I love it.
(but I also hate it)

ripwhy "on the one hand" some people have risked their lives to help the hurricane victims while "on the other side, we have looting, shooting, rape and mayhem."
riphappens in a country when we have taken God out of our schools and God out of our society. We don't have a moral standard and we need to put God back into our schools."

didn't post right.. sorry:
rip-silvergun: Sean Hannity asked Franklin Graham tonight why "on the one hand" some people have risked their lives to help the hurricane victims while "on the other side, we have looting, shooting, rape and mayhem."
rip-silvergun: Graham answered, "Of course, Sean, this happens in a country when we have taken God out of our schools and God out of our society. We don't have a moral standard and we need to put God back into our schools."

Oddly enough you will find a large proportion of Americans agreeing with that sentiment. You will actually find a lot higher proportion of Hannity & Colmes veiwers agreeing completely with it. The whole taking God out of education, justice and government has been an emotive issue in the US for a while now.

unfortunately, a lot of people believe in the "taking God out" rhetoric and insist on "putting God in". bush has done nothing if not support churches and religions and budget more money to religious organizations (like the safe-sex organizations that refuse to give young people condoms and the rape victims support centers that advise rape victims against abortions). there has been a renaissance of religious propaganda since bush took office, the flourishing of putting god in, and part of that is repeating the mantra over and over, "These liberals want to take God out..."

Yep, I follow politics quite closely and I can see that during the Bush presidency there is a much starker polarisation of viewpoints covering an entire spectrum of issues, it is actually worrying to see as extremism is not good in any form.

Polarization?
Between people who think it's acceptable to rig elections, and people who do not?
Between people who think it's acceptable for racial minorities to constitute a permanent underclass, and those who do not?
Between people who think it's acceptable to start optional wars that primarily benefit crony corporations, and those who think otherwise?
Yes, I've seen some of that.

The levels of fanaticism that exists in the US is growing and seriously at the moment it just seems to be a timebomb waiting to go off. The media has completely disproportionate levels of coverage, for example the Natalee Holloway situation, which is stirring up a lot of anger. Also from my perspective there is what is amounting to nothing more than out and out acceptance of racism when it comes to the discussions over border protection from Mexico. Hmm, America appears to be an increasingly hostile place which doesn't befit the nature of most Americans I have met.

I think this is a total tragedy. It's so bad that Bush will not be able to spin it, it seems. The only good to come out of this will be to see the end of that twats reign. It's mind-boggling to me how he got in a second term.
I mean, how many presidents have had 2 films dedicated to their incomptence? I think his reaction to Sept 11 was very similar to this... just a different scale. That's why I'm amazed he got in again last year.

More on federal officials seemingly bent on causing greater suffering.
Do not watch this clip if you are already sick of bursting into tears.

no i am america voted bush so that's a reason to be pro bush as an commercial news station
it's good showing the help is going shit but instead of accusing politicians of being shit (true but populist) they might want to cover what's going wrong so people get informed (and vote a less incompetent rightwinger next time)
i guess i mean: read instead of watching stupid tv

Its very upsetting and hard to watch than a man crying like that.
Bush cut levy and storm protection funds in New Orleans by 80% in 2004 to help fund iraq. What a cunt.

I think that's very hard to do when the situation is still at hand, more something you can do afterwards.
besides that, the people and places you'd get that information from are mostly completely unaccesible.

the reason FOX is pro-bush is not because america voted bush.
FOX has always been extremely right-wing. It's to do with Rupert Murdoch and the setup of the whole place.
I suggest watching a documentary called Outfoxed. It might even be available on the internet for free.
