Sounds like their reporting in Iraq.
I have been using that analogy to the many freepers who have jumped on the FEMA bashing bandwagon. just like in iraq, when a few hitches were encountered in the first 72 hours, the media was already proclaiming the iraq invasion a "quagmire". its the same model with this story. the mainstream media, and unfortunately alot of americans, think that an entire major US city flooded on Tuesday, the problem should have been wrapped up by Friday.
