A note to MSNBC

What follows is a note to MSNBC, after watching their coverage of the mine miracle this morning. Just change the name and the MSM organization and it can be sent to whomever you are reading or watching.

Your slightly over-weight and continuously hoarse Live & Direct host hasn't appeared to be such a dope since she announced live and on air that Al Gore had gotten relief from the Supreme Court during the 2000 recount - that just happened to be 180 out from what the Supreme Court actually decided. Having learned nothing from that experience, Cosby blabbed on and on yesterday about a miracle. Who was her source? Who did she follow up with? Did she ever offer a cautionary note that she, as an on scene reporter, had not gone to the trouble to talk to ANYONE in an official capacity about the story?

If the families of the dead and injured miner(s) are going to sue the company for providing them with bad information, the nation ought to sue Rita Cosby and the rest of the MSM lemmings who botched this story worse than they did the one in New Orleans. It seem that on scene reporters are more into on-air emoting these days than getting to the bottom of any story they happen to be covering.

These on-scene reporters have no credibility and should be pulled immediately. This incident is one more nail in the coffin - and only a few remain - of a MSM more interested in being first than being correct. The MSM is quickly degenerating into a high-tech equivalent of the bathroom wall at a bus station.
