Several hours after the attacks on 9-11-01, news reporters were in an awkward position. Because of the magnitude of the events, they had to stay on the air continuously, even if there was nothing new to offer. I heard one reporter inadvertently say, “We’re looking for some solid speculation.”
speculation (noun) (verb?) (preposition? or proposition?) (direct object? or indirect object? [are we the target?]) (the object of the proposition [that’s it])
1. Coverup based on serious thinking or conjecture, hoping for a faulty conclusion by the people, based on such conjecture; at least enough confusion and repeated verbal masking [lying] to delay the truth, making the focus on the endless reported spin—to overshadow and hide the truth.
2. The act of engaging in risky business transactions that offer a possibility of large profit. [Would you believe, I copied definition 2 word-for-word from my dictionary]
Try looking through the above lens at everything coming from the White House, and The Department of Media affiliates—particularly events of the last month—AND, most notably, events of the next month.
