CNN filed suit for right to cover search for bodies of Katrina victims
HOUSTON, Texas (CNN) -- Rather than fight a lawsuit by CNN, the federal government abandoned its effort Saturday to prevent the media from reporting on the recovery of the dead in New Orleans.

Yet CNN will not show the TRUE pictures of 9/11 during 9/11 rememberance.
No innocent people plunging to their deaths so we see the truth.
No stories about the islam memorial planned for the 4th flight.
Should we now assume that CNN HATES BLACK PEOPLE ?
"Well since most of the people within New Orleans were black, one must assume that most of the dead will probably be black.
Should we now assume that CNN HATES BLACK PEOPLE ?"
Well, it must think it can make $$ off dead, Black people, and so is salivating at seeing them dead.
