Well the people do have a right to know what's going on, but just sitting and watching the news over the last few days also has me angry that much info has been distorted, misreported, misinterpreted, and in some cases, just wrong. The media has been doing an excellent job (don't get me wrong). But I feel for those people who have lost loved ones in this tragedy and are grasping for any good news. The media needs to be aware of the fine line between factual and sensational reporting, especially NOW! I hear Giuliani talking about this and about telemarketers calling and soliciting fraudulent donations. WTF?!? If the government thinks they may need to hide specific details from the public/media in order to have an edge in getting to the bottom of this mess then so be it.
