Why must the news turn everything so negative?
Perfect example:

Houston has had a rough month with the fire department. Huge wreck a couple weeks ago, then 2 died yesterday morning in a fire. I have been watching the news and it isn't how brave they are or how we are sending good vibes the families way. It is about how overly aggressive, stupid and incompetent they are. Even if any of it is true (which isn't in my opinion), why does it matter right now? There are much more important things to focus on........


Just venting.

Vent away . It's what they think sells !

..i guess so people feel better about their lives,i mean if you see someone has it worse than you you feel like you dont have it so bad...because i know when i hear some good news like so and so just won the lottery i've been playing for years..im thinking ****'em i wish it was me ..damn my life sucks and he has all that money a-hole...

i would suggest calling the station and asking for them to prove their opinion that the dept. did a substandard job

and why it is they are trying to open the city to a lawsuit against the dept if they can not prove their story

and then maybe check out the other stations reporting on the same story and get their insight on them

who knows maybe someone at the station has an action pending or is about to file an action against the dept

thus they may be trying to show a pattern of behavior

just one of many possibilities not saying it is a fact just a SCENARIO of a possibility

be well and may good and happiness come the way of those families affected

Thanks for the well wishes. Their claims are completely unfounded. My whole family is in the FD and was involved in one of the stories, so I may be personally invested in it as well. There is just a complete lack of respect for these men as soon as everything doesn't go according to plan. My uncle, who is in the hospital as a result of the accident, is having to listen to these men tear down his brothers and himself. It is just sad and I wish they would take the families into consideration. The story is completely flipped when it is a civilian.

Tell the firemen if the TV Station catches on fire to take their time getting there.

I'm sorry sweety I did'nt know you had a personal stake in this ! They are heros everyday even if it comes to rescueing a cat from a tree.The press ust sucks these days no matter what they are covering .Sensation sells . Chin up and prayers for your family !

Ha! My thoughts exactly!!!

Thank you!

We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who
Comes on at five
She can tell you bout the plane crash with a gleam
In her eye
Its interesting when people die-
Give us dirty laundry

Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a
Running bet
Get the widow on the set!
We need dirty laundry

Oh so true! On my way out of the hospital, I kept getting the question, "So how does he feel now that he knows he killed someone?" Great question, dumbass. She hadn't even died yet. Its all just ridiculous.
