ABC Radio News reported all day during their top of the hour newscasts that the USS Bataan sat in port in New Orleans all week awaiting orders to assist. The reports say that they had 600 hospital beds, MREs, and the capacity to produce 100,000 gals of fresh water a day, but went unused.
What they failed to mention was that from the beginning of the flooding, helicopters from the USS Bataan were plucking people from rooftops.

That wasn't a failure on the media's part ... that was planned. They have pulled out every stop and are going for Bush' jugular. You can see it as plain as day now. I have NO use for 90% of them.
