Have you noticed something odd about the coverage?

Where are the shelters full of evacuees? Normally they have reporters going from shelter to shelter interviewing families with inane questions. But I don't think I've seen a single "shelter report" related to Rita. Have any of you?

Great point...I hadn't noticed it until you mentioned it. Wonder why?

I havent seen any evacuee interviews. It's not like there weren't any shelters set up. Wonder what the spin on that is.

That is an excellent observation. I hadn't considered it prior to your question. It might be that they can't find anyone ready to blame President Bush for their woes?

We've mostly seen footage of damage, presser by pols and the usual speculations, complaints and wild assumptions by reporters.
