It was then that I lost total respect for the media and since then I have
never intentionally sat down to watch the news.

If you haven't watched the news then it's pretty curious how you know so
much about what and how they present their news. That's like me
commenting on how the New York Yankees play baseball when I haven't
watched them play a game in over a decade.

How old are you? Does your daddy know that your playing with his computer?
If your looking to tear apart my qoute then use it correctly.
I said "I have never intentionally sat down to watch the news" that doesn't
mean
I don't get to watch it. At work they have monitors everywhere playing CNN
and
after hearing the same news for an entire 8 hour shift you come home knowing
more than you want to.

Living in Florida for most of my life I found that they (media) are also
directly responsible for most of the persons that choose not to leave
the area when a hurricane is approaching,

Actually, as an American of free will I like to believe that I am directly
responsible for my own actions. The people who are directly responsible
for choosing not to leave the area are the people who choose not to leave
the area.

Again your showing your age.. It has nothing to do with free will.
Many people watch the news as a valid source of information, and in
the long run the person who has left the area 5 or 6 times based on the
over sensationalized reports of a massive hurricane approaching have
come to find that the reports are more for ratings than accuracy.

So when the next hurricane approaches you might not be so quick to
leave the comfort of your home and spend your day in highway gridlock
and overpriced hotels (due to price gouging) not to mention possibly
coming home to a house that has been looted.

I would think that you must have experienced that yourself living in
New York.

Now if I'm not mistaken your going to find some sort of idiotic response
to what I have just tried to educate you with.
