again, the issue at the convention center is not food and water - its medical care and evacuation.

I agree medical attention and evacuation are what are needed there, but the MSM keeps complaining that they don't have food and water either. The picture seemed to indicate that the media has been "stretching the truth" just a bit.

Now that they are winding down with the SD where conditions were far worse than the convention center, I am sure medical assistance and evacuation assistance will start being shifted to the convention center.

These survivors are truly living in less than ideal conditions, and we all know that resources are stretched to their limits with so very many people effected by the hurricane.

I just don't think the media is helping matters by reporting that conditions are worse than they are. There is certainly enough tragedy for them to report, without "creative journalism".
