The so called UK news source is quoting random rumors and speculation

Part of my original point is that our MSM is being silent on many of the issues in Sandy's aftermath, quite unlike Katrina. Remember this?

Turned out that it wasn't true, but the MSM jumped on the federal response (Bush) immediately, with rumor and speculation, with most proven to be untrue later. There was no restraint then. Why now?


Racism, ideology, you saw the caught on tape comments form the reporter
just after Sandy, only to wait for the "40 percent chance Romney will
say something stupid"...

I was quoting people who are there.


I wish folks would really act like Americans and go beyond their own
selfishness looking for information. Even my daughter watches MSNBC
lately, in fact, probably as much as FOX. Granted we spend most of our
time mocking them, but we watch and it's important to know what both
sides are feeling and saying...

In particular, I watch during the debates, and other huge events. I feel
like a bit of time bouncing around is the best. We need to know there
are monsters out there in the Main Stream like Al Sharpton and Debbie
Washeduperman Shultz, and Chris Matthews...

Is your daughter as insane as you? I sure hope not.

My oldest son lives on the 31st floor of a lower Manhattan high rise
apartment building that still has no elevators, water, heat or power.
It's not easy but he and his wife are getting along OK and walking to
work. I'm in touch with him just about every day by phone or EMAIL.
He reports that progress is being made, albeit slowly. Slow is
understandable since that area has very old infrastructure and his
building had 3 feet of water in the lobby and a totally flooded
basement. He says that crime and looting have been minimal and that
all of the emergency service groups are doing everything they can.

If you are so outraged go up there and help out.


I'd love to Harry but non union volunteers get turned away. Dontcha just
love the neighborly spirit of the unions.

Bull****.

It was in the news, dip****.

Are you really saying that non union volunteers can't volunteer and help
Sandy victims??? REALLY???

Yup. The linesmen from Alabama were turned away because the weren't union.

And in your FOXite mind that means that no one can volunteer because
they're non-union????

I completely believe you. Manhattan, and the central, most visible parts of the city and affected areas are getting the most attention.

However, your son has virtually no visibility of what is really going on in the boroughs, and in areas of NJ. Manhattan is tiny compared to the devastated area. My friend's family in NJ are telling her first hand that they are seeing rampant looting, that local people are getting little to no gov assistance, that friends in NYC that they in touch with are seeing crime waves, have no food, etc. This information is just as valid as the story from your son.

This is precisely the story that our MSM is not reporting. And they won't, they are the tail wagging the dog.

Glad that your son and his family are OK.

What town in NJ is that?

My son drove to New Jersey yesterday to watch the NY Giants football
game and returned safely. Downtown Newark may be something else of
course.

Tell him to drive outside of the friendly coverage media zone..LOL! Go
down and visit my friends in Rockaway, see if he wants to spend a night
there without MSNBC watching over him... I just don't understand. You of
all folks should understand having been to nations and islands where the
tourists area is paved with gold, two streets over from hell which you
will never see....
