[Mishmash] Why I Don't Watch "The news"

[Hugh Gigante]

OK, so yesterday some fool decided to walk into LaGuardia Airport here in
New York with a battery wired to a circuit board.

 

They emptied the terminal.

 

The guy tried to go through security at concourse "C" in the main terminal,
"B" (American Airlines).

 

The news reported that terminal "C' was evacuated (US Airways). They also
showed pictures of Terminal "B" calling it terminal "C" and noting that
Delta flights and staff were effected (Delta flies out of terminal's A and
D).

 

In short, except for the fact it was an airport, nothing about the report
was correct.

 

This has been going on since I was in college and went home one night to
video of the line at the bookstore being described as "campus protestors".
If fact in all of the half dozen or so times I have actually been "on the
scene" for something that wound up on the news . . . I've never seen
accurate reporting.
