CNN's Lou Dobbs bitten again in his @ss by reality. Once again these mainstream folks who let the news be regulated and controled over these past many years to serve & protect Powers that Be now find that they have not only done a disservice to their profession's creditability with end result being harmful to the general public's need to know being replaced with stuff worthly of that suitable to keep real & important news away from the public, not only that but now with the realization after 9/11 that this method adapted by the mainstream media outlets have now place not only the general public at risk, but also now these media people themselves that have let in particular the people elected in federal government to serve & protect the American public NOT simply with the mechanics of NO ACCOUNTABILITY rule by default as this no accountability status was allowed by these mainstream media outlets as something not to do as important or necessary. So here we have Lou Dobbs and others like Ted Kopple of Nightline realizing a nightmare while being awake and unable to escape, that being that their personal and loved ones health and security being threaten by the 9/11 event with a promise of a continuation of terrorist activity that is located not far off on a foeign soil, but where they live and work here on usa soil. So surprise-surprise they want straight talk and answers of the type they have spend all these years allowing as o.k. NOT to do. Yet another real time reality bites Lou Monday, as follows. Note: As seened and observed on the t.v. as extra not obtained from the following transcript was the anger in his voice, along with his body posture being read as he checked himself strongly from what he really wanted to do, being grab this political person and shake him and shout and let the moment be realized that his concern is great, as in his worry about the here and now and future for his young daughter is a great concern for him, and upon wanting to receive concrete and correct replies from the structure of government to deliver this, he got babble. Its just my personal reaction, but to see this feeds a need i have to see these corrupt & criminal mainstream folks get it, and sure its an empty and nonsense wish of mine, but it may be productive if it causes them to realize their past errors and not only correct things that directly affect their own small important world, but extend it to the world at large and include for example the Gata Bill story. cnn.com LOU DOBBS MONEYLINE Aired October 29, 2001 - 18:00 ET This is MONEYLINE for Monday, October 29. LOU DOBBS, CNN ANCHOR: Good evening -- as..... ... Meanwhile, Manhattan's largest mail distribution center is open, despite testing positive for anthrax last week. However, late this afternoon, a New York postal workers' union filed an environmental lawsuit seeking the closure of that facility for further testing. John Nolan is the deputy postmaster general of the U.S. Postal Service and joins me from Washington, D.C. Good to have you here. JOHN NOLAN, DEPUTY POSTMASTER GENERAL: Thank you. DOBBS: ... your reaction to that lawsuit? NOLAN: Well, I think... not the time for lawsuits. Now is the time to work together... The key here is that we're very interested in employee safety and customer safety. And that's what comes first. So... DOBBS: Are you confident that you have the facts? Are you confident that we know enough about this problem to say to the employees of the postal service that you know what's going on? NOLAN: ... we believe we're doing the right thing and more. DOBBS: The right thing and more. ... clear, right now, that we don't know nearly enough -- any of us -- about this, do we? NOLAN: Well... we're doing the right thing. DOBBS: ... the postal service -- it's important to the lifeblood of this country's economy, it's society... NOLAN: Well... I've used the line that if you had a traffic accident in Seattle, you wouldn't shut down the highway system in Florida. What you've got to do... DOBBS: Well this is hardly a traffic accident, Mr. Postmaster General. I mean, I think that analogy -- they always limp. That one is certainly in the category of limping. I can't see any parallel to a traffic accident in these anthrax attacks, can you? NOLAN: Well... DOBBS: In terms of knowing what you're doing, what is happening with the postal service? ... it is critical to business in this country. NOLAN: Well...
