Not much reported about the real "ground zero" devastation, is there?
Seems the media is obsessed with a crime ridden druggie infested party-town, screw the normal folks, who also happen to be "a color other than white".
Ya'll get a map.
Biluxi is not in the NOLA district.

Ah yes, onyx eyes, I almost forgot:

You're absolutely right. Waveland, MS took the hurricane "dead-on", and we barely hear much about it. Could it be because it's a majority-white town? Could be, I don't know.

The squeaky wheel DOES get the grease, and the incompetent mayor of NO and the governor of LA, who's worse than incompetent, have screamed the loudest, demanding the Federal government intercede. Of course, by now we all have seen (or should have seen) the picture that is most damning against "Hizonner" Mayor Nagin, which shows all of NO's school buses sitting in the middle of a lake...gee, you think, maybe just maybe, those buses could have been used to evacuate the city BEFORE the storm hit?

Having said that, we have to admit that NO is a more compelling story (kinda) due to the enormous number of people who ignored the order to evacuate, and are now trapped. Add to that the complete breakdown of civilization inside city limits, and you have "must see tv" news.
