How is the media handling the BS terror warning?

I haven't been able to watch. Specifically, what did Aaron Brown say?

...Chris seemed exasperated with the guests he had on the show because they were not totally buying into the BushCo threat level and urgency of the announcement, he also tried to get Howard Dean to admit he, Howard, was attacking BushCo.

we got Howard Dean questioning the timing and they've got everyone else saying it was a good thing to do cuz they offered specifics this time, no matter it's 3 year old info...and they left out that little tid bit on Sunday.

reporters. We have a bad guy that planned the 98 bombing, plus the techie that assisted him by putting any file that was to get its 5 minutes of life on a website (they erased the files rather quickly) through an encryption program - no doubt a simple PGP, plus a laptop.

And nothing else.

A different person has said "sure we targeted financial buildings" - big deal - they hit the WTC after this planning was done.

The fact that we do not know if any file dealing with the 5 financial targets was ever updated with new info post 911 was never said.

Instead the CNN reporters used the Bush/Rove "Updated" word rather than explaining that the file on the hard drive had been opened once in 2003, and again in Jan 2004. Opening the file could easily have been by mistake, or for a read only review - we have no proof from anything on that hard drive that there was a change to the file.

And CNN then aired the Rove/Bush new excuse - they found telephone numbers on the laptop. And these were for cell phones. And our electronics traces terrorist cell phone calls. And we never dump data from the billions of calls we listen to - right, sure, whatever you say - the reporters just swallowed this whole - and we went back to look at those phone calls and now knew what they were really saying. Again not saying that the terrorists were saying anything about a coming attack.

So we live in Fortress America whenever Bush needs a few poll points.

And the "Why now" question never got answered - Aaron tried quite hard - but his crew was not going to go off script. Heck, CNN never reported the "Financial targets face no immediate threat" by Kevin Johnson and Mimi Hall, USA TODAY "The major U.S. financial institutions identified in a recently disclosed al-Qaeda surveillance operation are not believed to be at imminent risk of attack, two federal law enforcement officials with knowledge of the investigation said Tuesday."

I just love the US Media.

if there was anything more to the story such as the age of the information, I turned it off. It reminds me of the 2000 elections where they attacked Gore 24/7.

So why did those CNN reporters act like their careers depended on not going off script.

Time for bed.
