My daughter is a Army Combat Medic in Mosul. She told me she was working in the ER of the surgical hospital the day a bomber killed over a 100 Iraqis at a Mosque. All day long injured citizens and Iraqi servicemen came through the ER in bllody taters. There was a tv on the wall tuned to fox news---while they rushed about caring for the injured Fox spent hour after hour covering Michael Jackson being late for court, the after effects and health care professionals discussing his condition. Every once in a while the crawl at the bottom of the screen mentioned the 100 dead in Mosul. Fox lost a lot of fans in that hospital that day. The media are the most dysfuntional segment of an increasingly dysfuntional society.
I couldn't agree with you more. I thought Fox was better than that.
My stepson had a similar situation when he was in Jordan and Iraq. They couldn't get appropriate info from the tv so we sent him articles from FR.
His buddies would wake him up to have him log on and get our e-mails for their Daily Intel Briefing.
My husband came home and I was distracted and just hit send.
I meant to say I'll be thinking of your daughter and hoping she's safe. It must really upset our troops to be in such a situation and find FNC covering Jackson. I'm here safe and sound and it ticks me off. I'm interested in the Jackson case, but let's put it on Court TV where it belongs and have FNC report on it occasionally.
