You missed the point of the entire post.

So your blaming the news media - CNN or MSNBC or whoever, for
reporting what the clueless elected officials are saying?


No, I think I nailed the point of the post, which was to blame the
news media for bad reporting at a minimum,( or all the ills of the
world at a maximum), for simply quoting what some of the politicians
are saying / considering due to the recent crash in NYC. I'm not a
big fan of the news media either, with the current '24 hours / we must
be sensational and get ratings' standard of journalism, but in this
case it appears that they quoted the politicians accurately.
I do agree with your statement that stupidity certainly seems to lie
in the lap of the politicians and by extension, the people who elected
them.
