Media needs to get facts straight

Bless these people in the Media who are trying to cover the news. Did anyone happen to think of the time it takes to get to the bottom of a problem (Anthrax for one).  

This causes fear. We are headed for being dissolved as a nation (imploded) if we don’t start watching out for our neighbors.  

Compel the news media to get their facts straight (possibly consult with each other as to what and when to report to the tender ears of our citizens).  

People who listen to a number of newspeople with many different concepts forget the basics given. This could cause snowballing of fear and corrupt thinking. 

There are not enough qualified psychiatrists in the world to project the thought that our best protection comes from within ourselves.  

It’s too bad nobody listened to the sole dissenter from this community (Barbara Lee), when we could have concentrated on discussion and protection of OUR OWN country.  

A few admissions of guilt by our leaders wouldn’t be a bad idea either.
