VIDEO: What Geraldo said should have been on the Black Hole Network?

Rumsfeld in January 2001

Reports that say that something hasn’t happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns; that is to say, there are things that we now know we don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns – there are things we do not know we don’t know.

For Bill O’Reilly to disparage Geraldo Rivera in the way that he does in this video, he is doing a great disservice to all journalists that are trying to report the story of the missing Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370. What O’Reilly did was to make people skeptical about any news that they hear about the missing flight. Right before Geraldo was able to discuss his “theory,” O’Reilly attacked his credibility.

The arrogant behavior by some of the pundits is appalling; many in the media are looking for ways to be the most sensational. And meanwhile, to be the “oracle” that breaks the “case solved” story, they have to rip into every other “theory.”  It is not satisfactory journalism when those of us that are trying to pay attention are constantly forced to discern between facts and speculative theories in the reporting. Mr. O’Reilly, it is BECAUSE of the wall-to-wall media coverage, and WILD speculations, that We the People have to keep every possibility on the table, just as Geraldo said. We don’t know if it was a mechanical failure, an attempted hijacking that failed or succeeded, or SOMETHING ELSE entirely!

As Donald Rumsfeld said, “There are things we do not know we don’t know.”  What don’t the journalists not know that they don’t know?  It makes me wonder.  Just sayin’…
