Remember on 9/11 the reporters refused to show the footage of the real carnage going on? Are they censoring the news again?

I think thats quite possible. I've seen numerous shots of people on roof tops and little doggies being rescued, but I haven't seen any pictures or video of the levee breaches.

Sorry, but reporters don't determine what airs. Producers back at the station do that. Sometimes that decision is a no-win one. If they show the grisly stuff, they'll get in big trouble for sensationalism. If they don't, they get criticism for withholding the truth.

Frankly, there are things we don't need to SEE. It would help nothing. Listen carefully to words, to what is being said, and draw your own conclusions.

Just imagining people trapped in dark attics with no food or water and maybe an antagonistic snake or two is enough. I don't need to see pictures of bodies floating.
