PLANES MISSING, MANY FEARED DEAD BUT WHO CARES? My heart goes out to the family of JFK Jr. and his Wife's family. My heart goes out to the families but enough is enough. Don't let that Coast Guard guy fool you with that 'people have been found days later' crap. As soon as the suit bag was found an honest person knew what that means, the plane came apart on impact. I liked JFK Jr. as he was a class act. As for how the media is dealing with this "search and rescue" let me say the media stinks. If SI wants to suspended me for telling the truth, go ahead but, the media sucks. Two sisters went down on that plane but JFK Jr. is who we hear about? If it had just been the two sisters and not JFK Jr. would we hear anything at all? What we see now, thanks to the media is thousands of people who want their fifteen minutes for fame and to fill dead air, the media is going to give it to them. "A Kennedy dog once pissed on that tree in my yard." This just shows how as a nation, we are lead by the mindless media, the servant of the rich and famous. U.S. Media I want to know about the many U.S. planes who have gone down and the people lost. Can you tell me the names of the countless MIA's who were shot down? Joe Kennedy we remember as the media makes us remember. What about Vietnam? Those guys we Airborne called "fast movers", what about them, brave men that were shot down? Do you know their names? Do you know how many are missing? We don't really look for them because their name is not JFK Jr. I'll bet more money has been spent on this JFK Jr. plane missing than on all the MIA's during Vietnam. It already has more press so there is your more money right there. Now don't get me wrong. I feel bad for the Kennedy family but I also feel bad for the family of the girl that got drown 30 years ago today. If you read Ted Kennedy's story from that day, if it were you or me, we would of gone to jail, not Washington D.C. That my friends, is what a money name does for you. I wish the media would stop the hype. When you find the plane, let me know, then let's forget about it like we do for "normal" people. The media stinks and you are sheep if you are not asking why a MIA's crash is less important than this. It is money that matters and you are watching a rich people's show via the media. Here are the facts. JFK's father was a bootlegger, that is how he made his money. Like being a drug runner today. JFK was a "look good' man, like Bill Clinton. JFK waited for Jackie to be out of the White House so he could use his kids for photo ops. While running this look good JFK cheated on his Wife. JFK is the person that got us going in Vietnam. He damn there got the World blown up in a stupid game of risk he played in Cuba (and we are lucky Russia chickened out). During the Bay of Pigs, JFK left about a thousand men to die by Castor. In death JFK is larger than he was in life, the work of rich friends. Oh yeah, JFK had a son, many people do. So let us come off of the media hype and look at facts. Chances are, JFK Jr. a novice pilot made a few mistakes that got him and others killed. They won't be found on Gillian's Island so don't believe the media crap. Now if the CNN and the media will return my TV and news to regular shows, I'd like to get on with my own life and stop being reminded a rich guy means more in America than a MIA. Please DO break in with news if you find a MIA pilot. But more "news" of a small plane, flown by a rich novice guy to the bottom of the ocean WAS news but, is not now. JFK Jr. seemed to be a good guy but so were a lot of fighter pilots. Let's hope the rich government will match dollar for dollar the money spent on Kennedy on our missing in action (not pleasure). CNN and the media give it a rest and why not do a story on how Ted Turner's wife Hanoi Jane gave comfort and aid to the enemy and never went to jail for it. Clinton administration let's go dollar for dollar looking for an unknown hero MIA, not some rich, famous guy. Enough of the hype and double standards, BLUE
