This is the SAME media that we had prior to Hurricane Katrina.
Is there some reason we have decided to buy into everything that they are promoting and selling?

Did they start becoming accurate, fair and balanced after Hurricane Katrina?

Im just curious. I don't think I got the memo.

1. No they relaize that the Feds are botching it
also in a disaster situation this is a fairl;y neutral news story so the biases more or less disapear... they will be back once they decide to lay blame.

2. Agreed...
and they seem to take a little too much pleasure in images of African Americans wading out of Walgreens with merchandise under their arms.

4. They sound more confused than anything. As if they believed their heroic
vision of Bush they've been pushing on us all these years and are just now seeing that the facts in front of their faces are telling a whole different story.

6. They are still selling a line that helps Bush...
They never focus on his faults only the BS excuses that make it ok to be a lifelong and consistent failure.

They want us to know that it's all hard work fucking up this much...
