A spokesman for the Homeland Security Department told us today the low morale was the fault of the media and its focus during Hurricane Katrina on FEMA, another of the troubled agencies under the department.

:crazy:

1. Rotflmao!!!

At least their utter bullshit provides comic relief!

See, they'd all have really high morale about all them deaths and the loss of an entire US city IF ONLY the media hadn't reported the facts to America!

DAMN that US #53 Freedom of the Press media!

[rocktivity]

2. Rocknation: Morale is low at DHS because it's overworked, underfunded

and has demoralizing leadership.

15. You have summed it up

Their scapegoating the media is outrageous!

[whistle]

3. Bullshit, morale is low because those in the agency know the

...whole premise of HLS is based on lies, deceptions and coverups for the failed policies of the Bush administration

4. ho ho ho. ha ha. Ha Ha HA HA HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA! ah. . .

how about, low morale beig the fault of incredibly stupid decisions, horrible management and unconstitutional activities - all of which erode the brains of those required to enforce those edicts?

Every run-in I have had with TSA, DHS or any of their many agencies, to be polite, has been an utter disaster. conflicting rules, contradictory positions, and worse.

oh yeah, blame the media for pointing out your many faults. THAT's the reason for bad morale.

5. Or maybe it's because...

they have an inane & incompetent boss named Chertoff.

6. I think it's because they are trapped in a joke of Bush's making

7. Where is "the media"? All I see is the government controlled media that is headlined by

the pres' own Fox correspondent (Snow-job). Plus as we have learned from Russert in the Libby trial, the admin is used to calling news stations and having certain stories run, others pulled, and above all- having their message carried and spread by the "liberal media".

8. Come on give the people some credit, it is

because they see what is happening and what is not happening in that department and feel for the people of the US...

[pdxmom]

9. Everything is now the media's fault and by extension, the Dems fault

because everyone knows that the media is controlled by those damn liberals.

:sarcasm:

10. Morale is low because of incompetent agency, department and WH.........

(MIS) management.

11. It's true.....

I mean, morale would NEVER be low simply because the people working in the agency know that they are political "tools" of the Bush Administration/GOP(the agency owes its very existence and lack of labor protections to the politics of the 2002 midterm congressional elections), the resources of the agency are often used for dubious if not outright illegal purposes (i.e. finding "missing" Texas Democratic state legislators, repeatedly issuing trumped-up "terror alerts" during the run-up to the 2004 Presidential election), and working for an incompetent, out-of-touch, and *quite possibly* psychotic boss(Bush). So, of course, it MUST be the "liberal(corporate controlled and government approved) media" (again) dragging everybody's spirits down at the agency! :sarcasm: ;-)

12. This person needs to know about the concept of "cause" and "effect"

It's like when your big brother said to your mom, "It all started when he hit me back"

13. DHS is a scam

Big govt. republicism at it's worst.
