He urged news organizations not to report such details until confirmed by police and FBI.

"If we could all be a little more patient and verify information before we put it out, we won't raise people's hopes unnecessarily," Giuliani said.

Network executives were reluctant to talk Friday about how many millions of dollars in advertising revenue was lost, saying they hadn't added it up. Some executives suggested privately that they'll eventually get those advertising dollars. Even if networks wanted to run commercials during the attack cov-.

"This is a time to pull together, not necessarily to denigrate others." Giuliani, in a briefing Friday, asked the news media to be more careful reporting about the World Trade Center rescue operation.
