I need some help please
« on: September 13, 2001, 11:34:00 PM »
While watching coverage on fox today they have a scrolling msg. at the bottom of the screen. About every 3-4 minutes the msg. reads
 "30,000 body bags ready in NY"
 IMO this is not news worthy and I can't imagine having someone from my family missing and seeing constant reports of how many bags are ready and waiting to put them in.
  If you agree with me on this could you send off an e-mail to fox news? And if you see this type of thing on the other networks send them a similar letter and post it here so the rest of us can send them also.
 I’m all for a free press but reporting something like this that is in such bad taste and of no significant news value is just wrong and the news community needs to learn a little self restraint.
  Thanks for the help

Christ... it's Fox... just what do you expect? It amazes me how many times I see Fox news quoted as a source here on this BBS. Makes the quoter look like a dummy imho.
