Man the news coverage makes me want to gouge out my eardrums...

News conference...

Mayor "we are quite certain that this was an accident and not terrorist activity"

Reporter... "what about the terrorists?"

Mayor "I repeat, this is not an act of terrorists"

Reporter "are you sure there's no terrorists involved?"

Mayor "I'm telling you, understand me, no terrorists"

Reporter "not even one?"

Mayor "no..."

CNN newsdesk to a guy at the power plant "was this terrorist activity?"

Guy at powerplant "no this was simply an overload of the grid"

CNN desk "are there any Iraqis working there?"

Guy at plant "I assure you, this was an accident"

Wolf Blitzer on the street "anyone seen any terrorists?"

Camera pans away, pans back to Wolf tossing a brick through the nearest store window "Let's get this party started!!!"

Anyone else feel like they would love to have a riot just to make this a bit more interesting for the news reporting?

Sheesh.
