I don't think so.

I do. What they were reporting as "fact" was a compilation of serial hearsay where each retelling embellishes the story further. The people may well have "believed" what they were saying was accurate, but I'd bet that if you asked them to tell you what they actually witnessed vs what they had heard through the crowd, it would be a different story.

Mortician surprised by New Orleans dead

"He was surprised by the number of homicides — people with gunshot wounds to their heads and backs."

Someone is lying, the conflicting reports continue.

I believe there was an overstating of the amount of deaths but I do not for one minute believe there was an overstating of the violence in the Superdome. Matter of fact I believe the msm understated the facts of the violence in the Superdome in order to not offend.
