Because it affected mostly white people?
Ding! Ding! Ding!
We have a winner.
The Iowa floods were also not covered, nor the flooding in the Northwest last year. The media really only can focus where HUD housing needs to be re-built. I am not saying Katrina wasn’t horrific, but the Media is so far Left, they ignore any predominatley white areas to cover.
The people of Tennessee are hard at work cleaning up and assisting their neighbors and not looking for somebody with a camera and microphone to whine to.
It’s all about the mind set of the people involved.
That’s the only reason I can see. Plus the white areas tend to have people who help themselves and each other instead of waiting for the government to help them.
