The headline on MSNBC.com right now is “Search for Victims, Answers”. Answers? What are the questions? The bridge collapsed. There’s your answer. The media is always looking to make more out of something than needs to be, and I’m sick of it.

It reminds me of an interview The Today Show did with someone shortly after Hurricane Rita. They asked the man, “Can you tell us what happened?” My brother and I were listening to the broadcast on the radio on the way to work and we both burst out laughing. We simultaneously said, and you could almost hear the man thinking, “Goddamn hurricane hit, that’s what happened, you dumbass!” Yet the interviewer just had to reach for some drama. Yeah, right.

Here’s a novel approach to responsible journalism: Report the facts and stop trying to make everyone in this country a victim. Thanks.
