Fort Hood and the Media

I have turned off the TV and refuse to watch the endless rumor mongering about what happened at Fort Hood.  I have heard so many different scenarios representing each guest’s agenda, that sooner or later the real story gets lost.  I worked at Fort Hood for three years and even their description of it was warped.  Our media has become nothing more than the next rumor, right here, right now, before anyone else can actually verify it or mislead you with it.  Why oh why can’t they just report the facts of what they really know when it is confirmed and leave the endless speculation out all together.  Pretty soon they will have a Republican and a Democratic strategist to give their interpretation.  Is it any wonder that the American people have a very poor grasp on the facts?  They are presented with too many alternatives before the facts are ever really known.
