Local news: "Terror Alerts.... Prudent, Or Just Politics?"
Heh...... finally! Actually looking at what's behind this.

I don't know if it's the effect of F911, or * crumbling and the rats leaving, but whatever it is, I'm enjoying seeing some actual introspection.

This was on an ABC station........ anyone else see something like this on local tv news?

1. Not on local. Just Lou Dobbs' poll
on Moneyline. When i voted, 94% said the alerts are instigated by political factors, not new intel. The voters in the poll aren't buying the Admnistration's message anymore.

Just wasn't prepared for it on local news.

3. Local news, at least in Orlando, doesn't seem to know what to do...
...I saw Koppel mention on ABC, but the local "I'm Witless" news anchors just repeat the same old thing, but with a more glassy look than usual.

6. Actually, now I hope they continue....
The jig is up, and if they continue, they'll be a laughing stock.

As a matter of fact, I think I'll start right now..

BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!
