Reply #9: Problem is Whether or Not That Is True, Credibility is Undermined

[Justice]

What bothers me most about these "the sky is falling" and then days and days of explanation and retraction is that it undermines the credibility of the government. These warnings should be explained by someone in a non-partisan way, with no plugs for the president or the the "party". They should be announced in context - making clear they are passing along information - perhpas they should be done in prime time so that more people hear the information directly, instead of filtered thru the press.

People will be so turned off that they won't listen when they need to.
