Yes. I am always frustrated with breaking news where the media goes on and on with absolutely no facts in hand. I vividly remember estimates of 20 to 30,000 deaths in the towers on 911.
I also hate those retired experts. When one exits near any service, he is completely out of the loop with no official contacts or invites to staff meetings. While they may have some outdated knowledge of procedure, they know nothing of the facts in most instances.
Media opinion is at times glaringly wrong and quite troubling too. A few of the recent shootings by LEO's and civilians that were labeled as "murders" well before evidence surfaced are prime examples. The media types should stick to the facts of who, what, when, where, and then be held accountable if they offer speculation as fact.

I will join this speculative trend and speculate about why there is so much speculation. Well considered words but I speculate they would not hold up in court. -Laffin'-

Who, what, when, where, why, and how. Allow me to form my own opinions.
I've gotten to the point I hardly watch TV news, anymore.
I don't want to be told what to think - I want to think, based on the facts.
I've always been a curmudgeon - now I'm an old curmudgeon.
