For the same reason that they haven't told us of the blockade of the rescue efforts by Red Cross, Salvation Army, and World Vision volunteers bringing food, water and medical supplies.
As in the days of the Watts riots, "Burn Baby, Burn" has become die baby, die, as the MSM and their leftist friends hope to paint our president as a failure.
Got a guy right here.... antiRepublicrat .....that believes it!
So many allegations, so little willingness to get to the bottom of all of it. I really doubt we'll EVER sort out the facts from the fiction in Katrina's aftermath, but I DO know this for certain: I have less than zero desire to go to, through, or near Louisiana, in general, and New Orleans, in particular.
I really hope that those LA residents who are in the "hardworking, law-abiding" category can get a handle on things and regain control of their State. Being in California, I know what it's like to live under political siege, so I empathize. All the same, there are 49 other states ahead of LA on my list of places to go to spend my vacation money.
BTTT!!!!!!

Before we were close enough to speak, they began firing their weapons over our heads."
Members of the group nonetheless approached the police lines, and "questioned why we couldn't cross the bridge ... They responded that the West Bank was not going to become New Orleans and there would be no Superdomes in their City. "These were code words," the paramedics wrote, "for if you are poor and black, you are not crossing the Mississippi River and you were not getting out of New Orleans."
The authors say that during the course of that day, they saw "other families, individuals and groups make the same trip up the incline in an attempt to cross the bridge, only to be turned away. Some chased away with gunfire, others simply told no, others to be verbally berated and humiliated."
This is just crazy, and we won't hear this on MSM.
