Really? How was it clear? Was anybody reporting from inside?
There were "rumors" of what was going on inside, but nothing firm. The gunfire, rapes and throat slittings were definitely being reported on the air.
Brian Williams was. He spent the hurricane inside the Superdome. I remember a reporter also reporting from outside the dome on Tuesday who was remarking on how bad the conditions were.
Let's see, thousands of hit tired hungry homeless people with no food, drink, or security - - what do you think is going to happen????
