Did anyone catch what the Army rep was saying?

[PrayersForMaura]

This morning, on Fox News, there was a press conference and I was headed to work and a military leader from the army was tlaking about the efforts being done in N.O. and what's being sent there and what's delaying help in certain areas... then he went on to say...
"And I'd like to set the record straight on some incorrect things
being reported in the media" or something like that and he was immediately cutt off and the anchor person took full screen. The press conference was cut off.

That is sensationalism.
I wanted to hear what he had to say.

Did anyone else catch this?
I am sorry if this is posted somewhere else but I am only on my lunch break and am looking for a quick update.

I don't know the guy's name but I will try to find it.

If you saw this segment this morning, please post here.
I'm curious about what you heard and what you thought.

Thanks!

okay, i found a video of it on fox free video...

it's the army corps of engineers briefing on katrina damage
and explaining how they are trying to survey the area and navigate vessels into the area ... and right before he says he wants to clear up some things reported incorrectly in the media, they cut him off!!! Sensationalism!!!!!
My boyfriend and I BOTH heard him say it.

My friend's father works for CBS and he will be down there for two weeks.
So far, he's been reporting back to my friend that it is bad.
But the media has a way of slanting certain stories too.
Just keep your mind open to that.

I pray for these people out there and hope that they can get to them before it's too late!! :(

Thanks for the update. We (American citizens) )need to see and hear all info so we can decipher for ourselves. Sensationalism is just not the way to get me to watch them for information. okay, i found a video of it on fox free video...

As long as you (and others) keep in mind that the government and other officials don't always tell the truth.

I'm hearing a lot of CYA talk, for example.

So true!!! My husband is forever reminding me that the media puts a spin on everything to scare the American public. And they typically show the shocking, rather than show the good. They're in it for ratings, which in turn relates to money.
