Yes or the press conferences with the New York mayor:
Mayor: our first priority is to resuce and search for people
Reporter 1: Whats the body count upto?
Mayor: we're not interested in that, we're concerned about finding people
Reporter 2: How many people died?
Mayor: There are people we can resuce first before thinking about that?
Reporter 3: so again? body count?
Its no wonder that the press are sometimes called "The filth". To me it was
borderline to them behaving very opportunistically to the events. For
goodness sakes, listen to the guy talking, they'd be amazed what wealth of
information is available if they listened to what was being said for a change.
