Well written....and it hits the nail on the head.

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.

"About those bloated bodies. It seems now that there were more reporters claiming to have seen bloated bodies floating through New Orleans than actual bloated bodies."

Perhaps what they were smelling was the putrescense of their own rotting MSM corpses.

Well, not to toot my own horn, but I nailed this back on September 6th.
New Orleans Death Toll 10,000? I don't think so.

I caught a lot of grief, but the numbers made no sense to me. It is interesting to see who was right and who was wrong.

Toot. Toot.

I believed the total figures for the whole area were going to be very high considering what happened during the Tsunami.
I think a lot of the reason this number is lower than expected is that the US Coast Guard and US Air Force saved around 20,000 people.

Proving once again that the democrats will criticize anything Bush from cradle to grave.

Let's just say, now we know where the left-wingers get their figures for Iraqi and other civilian deaths at the hands of the evil US military.

Add to that, that NRO is reporting that their were 50,000 rescues by the Feds, locals, and volunteers.

All of these rescues were going on while the hysterical media were thrusting their cameras in the faces of black Americans who were waiting to be rescued.

LOL! Did they ever accept delivery of those 40,000 body bags?

[fatnotlazy]

Noggin, by getting people to move back to New Orleans before it was safe to do so, is probably helping to increase the likelihood that the death toll could go higher. Maybe that's the idea...death toll isn't high enough, so let's see if we can increase it by putting all these trusting, uneducated types in harm's way.

I'm no brain, but I feel like Einstein compared to this dolt.

And by the way...thanks for posting the article. Very good.

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.

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