I got trained early to hate them, thanks to a cold winter morning in 1986 when a NASA rocket blew up 70-odd seconds int its launch.

That was back when it was live news that a NASA shuttle was being launched, so it was carried live.

I have a tenuous connection with that accident, I was getting my driver’s license renewed at the local DMV. While sitting in a small waiting area waiting for my license to be laminated, a radio the staff had playing announced the shuttle blew up. What? Not 30 seconds later, license still warm from the melted plastic that sealed it in, I exited the building and drove home. In the rare freezing cold mornings in Florida, the sky is a brilliant crystal-clear blue, so the viability was classic CAVU (ceiling and visibility unlimited). Pulling out on the main road for the 5 min drive, I could clearly see an odd sight, one smoke pillar ascending had split into two, that suddenly ended.

Getting home was when my rage ignited. CNN was brand-spanking-new back then, and they had a news crew at the cape. This was a news-worthy launch, as NASA had a schoolteacher aboard, and her parents were in the front-row bleachers.

Those c0cksuckers spun the camera around at her parents, trying to interview her. Her parents were in an obvious state of confusion and shock, as it was clear something horribly wrong had happened with the launch, and they wanted a reaction as to what they thought about their daughter being killed live on camera *.

That, right then, was when I began to hate the ‘news’.

Here’s the video of CCN’s ‘reporting’. Watch her parent’s faces.

* (Note, it was later determined most of the astronauts didn’t die in the explosion, because they were in their orange launch pressure suits, and a number of them had turned their emergency O2 bottles on. Most of them lived about 10 min. until the crew cabin impacted the ocean. They had that long to know they were gonna die, and got to see the ocean rise up to meet them.)

Dmitar, a journalist writes in “True Facts” not hyperbole! This, in my opinion asshat, Noah Feit is NOT a journalist but is a Far Left dramatist using words to spin/turn fact into a track of the Left narrative i.e. guns bad, criminal good. Rabble like Noah Feit have no real journalistic talent so they revert to the spin. Spin it hard enough and maybe some blood will pop out and sell some papers!
