34. God, I hope so. But we have to keep pushing these questions.
The media, or at least those small segments of the media that seek out answers about this, may become discouraged in their pursuit because they'll invariably be stonewalled or provided excuses, or perhaps given threats or insinuations of threats "if they continue to make trouble" and there's the risk that they'll eventually give up. Besides, they're already on overwhelm trying to cover the immediate issues of this catastrophe. And they're invariably understaffed and overworked AS IS, so the reporters are probably exhausted and their resources and capabilities stretched beyond their limits.

That's why WE HAVE TO KEEP AT IT. WE'VE GOT TO!!!!!!!!! There will be a lot pushing against us. That's why we've GOT to be there, pushing back.

Keep making a stink about this. Even if you think it does no good. How do you know but that yours might be THE email, or phone call, or snailmail, that finally is the straw that breaks the camel's back, that hits critical mass, that reaches the tipping point, that makes the difference, that finally convinces somebody to turn from a lap dog to an attack dog? You NEVER know. It might be YOUR appeal that finally turns the tide.

JUST DO IT.

DO IT ANYWAY.
