they still lie

What's to report? It's a hurricane.

If you need more detail, google "hurricanes".

[GeronL]

and now we know that of the deaths recorded so far that the number of whites is higher than their average in the population down there while the number of blacks who died -so far counted- is lower than their representation in that area.

hhhmmmmm

How Bad Was Media's Reporting on Katrina?

At least as bad as Beggin' Nagin and the non-use of all the buses.

This is no longer free speech. This is tantamount to criminal activiy.

I say, "Book 'em, Danno."

[writer33]

Once again, I reiterate it is almost criminal in what the mainstream reporting did.

[ncountylee]

Good coverage for the bash Bush crowd, just like every day.

[writer33]

Book 'em, Danno.

How about Parish Presidents who lie?

Broussard, I think his name is...

I remember getting clobbered on here when I said that Shepherd Smith was not on that bridge all the time as he had on different clothes and was clean shaven. Those people also were not without water as they actually showed them getting water but Smith kept pushing the same story when they could have walked for help. And Anderson Cooper was worse.

When are the reporters on the scene going to apologize to everyone that watched those phoney broadcasts? I am not holding my breath!

Bush-bashing, of course, came to the fore, with the typical mainstream media view voiced well by former New York Times executive editor Howell Raines: "The churchgoing cultural populism of George Bush" means that "the poor drown in their attics."

God, that's sick. No wonder the N.Y. Times has become but a rancid bag of accumulated excrement.

Ted Kopple was responsible for the delayed response. He reported, irresponsibly, that New Orleans had dodged the bullet just 12 hours after Katrina had passed. Then the levys broke.

He did not go back on the air for 24 hours.

Say he is not responsible? The news to relief workers that night was limited to what they got on Nightline.

Blame Ted!

It was as bad as this:

[Mr_Moonlight]

Someone please stop them before they trip over their tears. Oh forgot, they've already done that .........

[JudgemAll]

is this your boyfriend or girlfriend?

[greasepaint]

Why is nobody asking,

why did the Orleans Levee District,
thru omission, decide that the 17th St and London Avenue
canals were not to have protective floodgates?

"Once again, I reiterate it is almost criminal in what the mainstream reporting did."



Fox's Shep Smith is just as bad

[McGarrett]

Hey, that's my 'tag' line!
