Fake food distribution point just for photo op?
Ok, this is just sick. I would love one of the mainstream media outlets to get this story and run with it.

Dutch viewer Frank Tiggelaar writes:

There was a striking dicrepancy between the CNN International report on the Bush visit to the New Orleans disaster zone, yesterday, and reports of the same event by German TV.

ZDF News reported that the president's visit was a completely staged event. Their crew witnessed how the open air food distribution point Bush visited in front of the cameras was torn down immediately after the president and the herd of 'news people' had left and that others which were allegedly being set up were abandoned at the same time.

The people in the area were once again left to fend for themselves, said ZDF.

1. I said the same thing! Laura Flanders read this on AAR today!
I hadn't heard about it until then, and I spend way too much time here on DU and having CNN/MSNBC on in the background! If I didn't hear about it, how many others haven't either!

Wonder if we could get Keith or Jon to air it?

3. Makes ya wonder
if * has EVER actually visited with any REAL victim of a tragedy, or if it's all just been staged for the cameras. I remember a photo of Shrub with a young girl during the whole 9/11 thing, and I remember the GOP using that photo to it's fullest advantage. I mean, who's to say this photo wasn't staged?
