I thought that News Reporting, in any field, was to report the news and not to create the news. I find that the news media will report a story in such a manner that they stretch it all out of proportion, and not give the real facts. Such as 6/22/2000. Reporting live from Skyharbor International Airport, Phoenix, Arizona. Because of the construction going on their, that one should come three hours early to catch a plane. No place to park!. They made such a mess of things, you wouldn't belive. Go to the airport three hours early, and find out that there is no problem to pick someone up or drop someone off. Go back home and wait a hour or so and then go back. (Now, that is reporting the facts as they see it. Not as it is.) They are making the news, not reporting the news. They (all news media's) do it, and all the time. Now, one can't believe what you read or see. You people just can't get it right. Your television reporters need not to comment, they are not quilified to comment. They are actors to read scrips. Wouldn't it be great to have a news station that you could believe, and find it to be true. All of us would tune in. Ratings would go sky word. I even would buy stock. ("Town besiged by, tune in at 5 pm." (A deer loose in town.) Give us a break. Something needs to be done, to get you back on track of reporting news.

Thank you.
