so what's wrong with the White House? Why can't they get this message out? That has become the question of the day, on not only Katrina but almost every topic we cover. Perhaps the wave of the future will be us, the new media. Times are changing. Perhaps distributing truth in news has become and will be even more so our job. Reality is we cannot depend on the lame stream/antique media to get truth out. They just don't care and leftward leaning spin has become their way of life. The New Media, needs to lead the way.

Thanks for the ping. The truth as a way of wafting up from the dank bilges doesn't it?

WOW- thanks for the ping.

With all the white noise out there about how awful, how terrible, how inhumane it all was....I'm doubtful this will get the exposure it should.

I'm sending the article to the two liberal friends I have left who still speak to me :)

Ummmm, the MSM is liberal - and they have a dog in this fight.

Right, but the White House should know that. They have a budget to get the message out. They have Fox news and they have the internet. Why don't they release the facts to Fox news, conservative blogs and forums like FreeRepublic? Why doesn't GWB use the bully pulpit more? He did that a few weeks ago and his poll numbers went up.
