Maine Arsenic Poisoning, CNN comes to town!

paranoid · 05-03-2003, 03:27 AM

if you've guys have seen this on the news, it's right in my home town. it happened a week ago and all of a sudden CNN, Fox News and so on have paraded up here.

It's pretty interesting, so far the media has made this situation just a tad bit more unbearable for everyone.

The latest news is that a local man has been found shot, just died. This man is my uncles cousin, my uncle shows up on the scene after he hears about the shooting and is instantly questioned by fox news, still not knowing what is going on. Fox asks him shit like "is he married, was he a loner, what has happened" so on, he refuses to comment to which the reporter continues to try and squeeze some answers out.

they had an interview with a local doctor on CNN, what was interesting about it was he shows up on camera with a stephascope around his neck, but he was 3 miles away from the hospital outside the court house. His son is a friend of mine and i was asking about it, he told me that his dad had the day off so he could do the interviews, and was told by the camera man to wear the stephascope so he could look like he was just getting out of a surgery saving someones life.

i've also heard that CNN has been calling the families of the sick and the man who died contantly looking for "ground breaking" info.

it's just neat i guess to see the news sensationalism from a first hand point of view.

wills?! tis that you? i've been doin pretty good, i moved out a year ago and haven't had a computer, still don't (using a friends). i tohughti'd stop here and see if there has been some change, and there has!

i got a job working at a recording studio right now, just setting up and playing on songs for bands that don't have a drummer or guitarist and so on. it's fun, but even more fun if the band is good, which hardly ever happens

. but in august i'm moving either downstate or Boston to attend college for music/engineering.

other than that i'm bored as hell, that's why i had the time ti become facinated by CNN being here.

so what have you been up to??
