It comes as no suprise to me that from Tuesday morning until God-knows-when, it'll be all-terrorist-all-day on the networks when throughout the summer it was Gary Condit-all-day.

i question whether or not this quik-e-mart coverage will do any good to inform the public to the extent that it needs to be informed.

is the parade of pundits and so-called experts really that interesting to the viewing public? are TV reporters out there getting in the way of rescue workers really carrying out a vital public service? is speculating at the latest heresay doing us any good?

as an aspiring journalist, i am deeply saddened by the consistently shoddy, willy-nilly and downright irresponsible reporting done by TV networks.

Gary Condit did it in an attempt to distract the public from his peccadilloes. But you won't hear Larry King (who, strangely, seems to be MIA in all this) saying so.

Pretty much decided that I'm gonna go the internet route as far as news is concerned from now on. TV has recently been a much smaller part of my life and now I can't stand to watch anything more...unless its pokemon, WWF, or a special presidential address that won't stream...

They may have found her.

From MSNBC STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS:

WASHINGTON, May 22 — Skeletal remains found early Wednesday in Washington’s Rock Creek Park are being examined to determine whether they are those of missing intern Chandra Levy, police Chief Charles Ramsey said. A forensic pathologist was called to the scene to examine the remains, which sources told NBC News appeared to be those of an adult female. "We don’t know (if the remains are those of Levy). We certainly are looking into that possibility." -CHARLES RAMSEY Washington, D.C., police chief.

THE REMAINS, which consisted of a skull, bones and clothes, had been spread in the area, possibly by animals, Ramsey said. They “have been there for a period of time,” the chief said.

Asked if the remains could be those of the 24-year-old Levy, who vanished without a trace more than a year ago, Ramsey said, “We don’t know. We certainly are looking into that possibility.”

Levy disappeared on or about May 1, 2001, as she prepared to return to California after her position as an intern with the Bureau of Prisons. The disappearance triggered an avalanche of publicity after she was romantically linked to former Rep. Gary Condit, D-Calif.

Ramsey said that the officers on the scene had not yet determined if the remains are those of a man or a woman, or from an adult or a child. But the sources, who spoke with NBC News on condition of anonymity, said they appeared to be those of an adult female.

It was not clear how long it would take to determine whether the remains are those of Levy.
