Idiotic News Reporters

After hearing all the speculation on the news today regarding the aircraft
that hit the building in NY, I was watching the press conference Mayor
Bloomburg was doing around 5:30pm. Some female reporter asked if the Flight
Data Recorder had been found yet? (I'm not bashing female reporters!)

Mayor Bloomburg handled it professionally, and stated that an airplane of
that size would not have a flight data recorder.

They are all trying to get on the air First...who cares if the info was
bogus. First it was supposed to be a helicopter.

I have spent 25 years in TV at local stations and a Video & Film Production
Company, so I'm aware of the problem.

I am waiting for the report from Jon Stewart on the 'The Daily Show';
the last news source you can trust on tv...

Bloomberg was impressive. Calm and surprisingly knowledgable about
aviation,

Is he a pilot?

I don't think so, but I'd imagine he is quite familiar with general aviation.

Just for kicks, imagine Daley if this had happened in Chicago.

I like the sensational word that all were using...raining debris and fire on the ground...flames leaping from the
windows...smoke billowing out...

I just visited the FAA's airmen database and was suitably impressed. He's a
private pilot with ASMEL, rotorcraft, and instrument ratings.

There's only one Michael Bloomberg in New York state listed and the middle name
is the same as the mayor's.

Was any of that *not true*? From the pictures and video that I've seen, it sure appears to have been true. If you
were a reporter, what descriptive words would you have been using to describe what was going on?

No, and that is the point. Something like the plane fell to the ground after hitting the building...the apartment was
burning...

I also like the way the fire is perpetually burning on CNN. One account said the fire was out in 20 minutes, but the
coverage showed it burning constantly. You could see the water coming out of the windows and the white steam, and then
they would cut away and begin the loop again...
