Amen. At least twice I posted comments articles full of apocalyptic BS about thousands of dead with Hizzoner as it's one and only source. The number of Freepers who bought this crapola and had a stock response 'he has access to information you don't' was little short of amazing.

At this point in my life i am convinced that any storyline the lamestream boys spin is; a flat lie, a gross misrepresentation, just flat wrong, a propaganda effort, or a non event that is devoid of any significance. If those jerks say it I am convinced its not so unless otherwise proven wrong.

I remember your post. It flew in the face of the conventional wisdom but I was hoping the reduced count was true and glad it was. You deserve to toot toot.

The MSM is so disappointed that they are now back to the Iraq death count. I am starting to really despise them.

Great post. I almost fell for the "10,000 dead" myself. Some FR'rs were even talking 35,000.

Cannibals ate `em up? That's my story and I'm stickin' . .
I think that thread was pulled in about 3 nano-seconds.

Bravo! When this is all over I hope the media is exposed for the frauds they are. From Aaron Broussard and NBC's attempts to use the death of a elderly woman to CNN and ABC's efforts to discredit FEMA with the lies about their "Convention Center" coverage...the media has deliberately manipulated the events of this catastrophy.

These people have reported rumor and innuendo as fact, while at the same time, intentionally ignoring facts about those most responsible for these failures. In their attempts to blame FEMA, they have deliberately confused the roles...and identity, of New Orleans' Homeland Security office and local FEMA with that of Federal FEMA.

Whether it was the Red Cross being denied access to the city, or truckers and boaters being turned away from rescue efforts, the media has intentionally misidentified those agencies in charge to give the impression that it is the Federal government who was making these calls. I can only hope that as time goes by, people will realize just how corrupt and politically biased our MSM has become. So much so, that they are now willing to exploit the deaths...and jeopardize the lives, of other Americans.

"As I write this, Rush is reviewing an ABC NEWS broadcast that points out that CNN is grossly exaggerating "missing" children as a result of Katrina."

Has ABC News reported that the "Joos" kidnapped the children to use in their making of the Matzoh? /sarcasm

On an average day in Orleans Parish, nearly 28 people will die.
