It's always lying eyes with the media,especially after the fact. They're into fear mongering and division. Looting? Yes. To the level they're trying to make it into? Probably not. Just like they were all getting excited over how many dead bodies they'd be,etc. and that has yet to pan out. It's all a mad rush to the hammer to pound Bush anyway.
Why do you care dear if the media is overreporting looting and depravity.
Mayhem is their business and has been since Gutenberg.
What matters is how much of the depravity reported and the nature of it was true.....not the fact that it was focused on.
overestimating death tolls is standard fare after a calamity
