wwl.com "They shut down airlifts of supplies because * was viewing NO"

[spuddonna]

They're pissed, and amazed that this crap is happening...

Edited to add: It's live streaming at the wwl.com link if you want to listen yourself...

1. who is it so pissed

[spuddonna]

2. Kenny Wilberson... (I have no idea who he is) lol

This is the local station broadcasting out of NO... Their TV branch has been a really good source of interviews with Mayor Nagin.

Right now, they're broadcasting from Baton Rouge...

These are local reporters, I don't know them, but their coverage of what's been happening in NO has been amazing...

4. thank you for that information - i was just about to ask

10. Link to WWL.

Right now, they are talking about disposing of any food with screw caps, twist tops, etc. if they came into contact with the sewage/oil sludge.

One minute of rolling boil to remove bacterial parasites from water, but that will do nothing to remove chemical contamination.

"I think a lot of people in the African American community - and others, by the way - share Bush's view that the results of his efforts have been unacceptable," Cummings (D-Md.) said after the White House meeting.

14. thank you friend --- i have a mac

but its just as well
i dont think i am strong enough to listen to it

i tried to listen on the scanner earlier this week but its enough just reading the news here let alone hearing it in their voices

take good care with it

[madrchsod]

7. ok these two guys on wwl am 870 are what

i suppose one could say are the voices of truth. i have listened two them one my way home from work all week...i get the sense that they are just on the edge of breaking down and crying everytime they report on some new disaster but they realize just how important they are and just how much the government wishes they were silenced. they are reporting from a war zone and they understand what that all means. their broadcasting brings a tears to eyes of this 58 year old...

[spuddonna]

11. Yeah, I love these people...

Their TV news is amazing too...

I'll tell you, if they keep their broadcasts going live nationwide, I'll listen after this...

[faithnotgreed]

13. wow... i know the station has been mentioned but i hadnt

thought i could listen to them all week

probably just as well because its horrid enough reading about everything here so i wouldnt be able to take hearing their voices
unreal

thanks friend and take good care

3. A German reporter was there. She reported it in Germany that *

ordered troops to stop rescuing people so he coud stage his phot op. then he left and they went back to saving people. VERY grim

[spuddonna]

5. Isn't it insane?

That alone is CRIMINAL, and reason for impeachment! I'm so angry...

[faithnotgreed]

6. there is no direction you can turn without seeing his evil

it knows no bounds

[OhioChick]

8. How sickening............ n/t

[Carla in Ca]

15. Here is info on that

ZDF News reported that the president's visit was a completely staged event. Their crew witnessed how the open air food distribution point Bush visited in front of the cameras was torn down immediately after the president and the herd of 'news people' had left and that others which were allegedly being set up were abandoned at the same time.

The people in the area were once again left to fend for themselves, said ZDF.

9. A caller says he sees a guy from FEMA sitting...

They had boats sitting, trying to get boats in the water. FEMA lied said there was nothing left in St. Bernard - only dead bodies... "No use going in there..."

edited because i can't type fast enough...

I missed where exactly this is - near St. Bernard though... sorry my typing sucks! :(

12. If Pat Robertson isn't busy, can he order a fatwa on FEMA obstructionists?

These FEMA and "Homeland Security" types are clueless and f*cking up and people are still helpless and dying out there.

[spuddonna]

17. Yeah, the two guys on wwl announced a few minutes ago that

there's some area down there doing a 'fly over' and they were telling people, "For those of you still trapped, paint a big X on your roof, or make a fire so you can get their atttention."

crazy... It's going to be a week tomorrow...

[KeepItReal]

16. They also slowed down Coast Guard air rescues, remember the hanger??

Idle Coast Guard choppers and crews stood as a backdrop while Bush & Co. acted like he gave a damn.

There were also several helicopters sitting on runways before he went into that hangar.

Never forget the idle choppers, y'all!

18. bastards... n/t
