Hell Has Frozen Over: NBC Nightly News is talking about the flooded school buses.
6 Sep 2005 | PhilipFreneau

Posted on 09/06/2005 3:51:20 PM PDT by PhilipFreneau

The title says it all. NBC News is currently reporting on "Missed Opportunities" -- actions that could have saved lives. One of those missed opportunities is the 200+ flooded school buses. NBC is even referring to the evacuation plan and its reference to the school buses.

"Today the mayor would not comment [on the flooded school buses]," reported NBC's Lisa Myers.

I kid you not! The report is only five or six days after Free Republic reported it, and only three or four days after Drudge reported it!

Reporting on this is just to establish some credibility because it's so blatantly obvious and the pictures say it all. Then once their credibility is established they can tell a bunch of lies and propaganda and be believed.

DNC Playbook:

New Orleans body count high -> BUSH'S FAULT

New Orleans body count much lower than expected -> Nagin becomes a saint!

The media is coming around some. They know they can't go balming GWB nonstop. ABC WNT just did a piece on who's to blame and they mainly focused on the local government and their failed evacuation plans.

Thanks Drudge (NOT) for acknowledging that you got that info from FreeRepublic.

Thanks NBC (NOT) that the origional information was from FreeRepublic.

Yes, they could have got this info on their own, but they didn't. It took FreeRepublic.com to tell the world.

Thank you to the Freeper that initially did it. If anyone could identify that Freeper it would be appreciated.

Yaaaaaaaa, FR did it again and now it is becoming national news.

"Like I said, Hell Froze Over."

This explains my feet feeling cold!

Those buses are impossible to ignore. They are all over the internet. Another storm is coming, and its not a hurricane.

Not even the LSM (formerly, the MSM) can ignore the truth for very long.

Below is the first post I have seen about the buses on DemocratUnderground forum...


"I gotta say one thing....I just don't understand why those school busses......weren't used to evacuate the poor. It's not something that we are talking about here, at least not as far as I've seen. The Bush/FEMA/military response to this disaster has been righteously slammed....but, what about those busses? Or city transit busses? I don't know, WAS an effort made, at the local level to evacuate the poor who had no other transportation?"
