In reply to the discussion: That weird sobbing sound you hear is from @ChuckTodd [View all]greatlaurel
(2,020 posts)It was during live coverage of Hurricane Sandy. A helicopter was shooting flooding scenes and flew over a small sewage treatment plant that was flooded. Chuck Todd called it an oil refinery. As much time as that nitwit has spent an airplanes and he could not tell the difference between a sewage treatment plant and an oil refinery from a low lever aerial view. It was an "Aha" moment when I finally realized how stupid he really was and how ignorant the national media is as a group. These people do not know anything about infrastructure or how work gets done.
The level of ignorance in the media is shocking. Most of these people that are now in the media sound like they grew up privileged and protected in nice suburbs with never an interaction with someone from a lower class unless it was the cleaning lady or gardener. I really miss people like Molly Ivins, Mike Royko and Studs Terkel. They had a clue.
