We should remember the reporters who lied about Katrina. Heraldo, for one. There was a Fox News reporter who hyped the racial aspect, but I cannot remember his name.

I remember watching a reporter trying to fan the flames after Hurricane Rita but the Cajuns didn't fall for the shenanigans, especially after seeing the Katrina hysteria.

One bluntly told the reporter that people are going to die while I sit and answer your questions and wait on the government to get here. I gotta go now. He promptly turned and left the reporter on the spot. That was about the end of the national reporting on Rita.

They also slimed the nation around the world. I have European relatives who still tisk tisk me about how the US is racist and let poor blacks drown and starve.

Fox's Shep Smith is just as bad.

Fox is certainly not exempt. I don't even watch Fox anymore. Same reasons.

"Hundreds of armed gang members killing and raping people" inside the Dome -- never happened. "Thirty or 40 bodies" stored in a Convention Center freezer -- not one. Rampaging "armed mobs" -- none. "Bands of rapists, going block to block" -- never happened. Geraldo Rivera's "scene of terror, chaos, confusion, anarchy, violence, rapes, murders, dead babies" -- well, that's Geraldo Rivera.

---Ray Nagin was also on TV on Oprah and various news casts lying his ass off too.

Al Gore begs to disagree.

"In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, there was - at least for a short time - a quality of vividness and clarity of focus in our public discourse that reminded some Americans - including some journalists - that vividness and clarity used to be more common in the way we talk with one another about the problems and choices that we face. But then, like a passing summer storm, the moment faded."

But that's Al Gore. He still thinks he won the election in 2000.

There's an anology in that photo to bad reporting, but I'll be damned if I know what it is.
