| skeeter User ID: 28182359 United States11/22/2012 07:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is one of the scariest videos/threads I have ever seen on GLP (visiting here since 9/11/01). Why? Because this is real ...and because of what is left unsaid by the two anchors. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28213523 Pin This Shit for more answers. 5* they were given a script they didn't like. "The script" |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 4428411 United States11/22/2012 07:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Very interesting. I'm from Bangor, and I call tell you that a lot of the local news is fluff, by far. Most of the politically biased material tends to be liberal, such as bashing our Governor on pretty much everything that he has to say. It is interesting that they would talk to the Bangor Daily News about this, though, because those mouth breathers are even more liberal than the local news! Good on them for telling it like it is. I only wish that they had done like in the movies, and asked everyone to stick their heads out of the windows and scream "I'M MAD AS HELL, AND I AM NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANY MORE!"   |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 4428411 United States11/22/2012 07:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Keep a tab on these people. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19027718 Their lives might "tragically end". I hope they have money saved or new jobs lined up. I'm sure that they probably had a job lined up. I can tell you, as a resident of Bangor, that it is the bottom of the barrel when it comes to television markets. We usually have recent college graduates as our anchors, some that don't look any older than 20! My guess is that they both had an ace up their sleeves if they were going to pull a stunt like this on the air. |

Quoting: Ron Burgundy 28068368 Story @ link below video: [link to www.youtube.com] This is scary stuff!!! The news with which they are not allowed to report has to be MAJOR!!!!! Like I said censorship has already begun we saw that in the biased coverage of presidential election and many others!! “A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.” Marcus Tullius Cicero "You must submit to supreme suffering in order to discover the completion of joy." - John "Calvin" Rambo |

| GeordieLegend User ID: 4912635  Netherlands11/22/2012 08:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Whilst i agree that it is a great thing that they have done, we all know they'll be replaced by some fame-hungry plebs desperate to say whatever they're told to say to make a name for themselves - so it'll be business as usual for the TV station... It'd be interesting to see if these guys do any in-depth interviews about their reasons though... Propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach... |
| Wolverine User ID: 16344097 United States11/22/2012 08:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | They need to go to youtube and tell us what they weren't allowed to report!! The only other reason they wouldn't if the news is MAJOR is that they are headed to an underground bunker!! Also we should be alert watching for pre recorded news information from major people in news, holloywood, president ect ect. If they know of something seriously major they would definitely cover it up. This is major stuff. Watch for other drastic things happening! “A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious.

The news with which they are not allowed to report has to be MAJOR!!!!! Like I said censorship has already begun we saw that in the biased coverage of presidential election and many others!! What you have to remember is yes there are people that are fame-hungry to replace them!! The important thing to remember is people fit certain personality types by nature. That being said those 2 that just quit were already of that certain personality type of seeking fame!
