Media DID Report That New Orleans Had "Dodged a Bullet"

Media Blog
Stephen Spruiell Reporting

Several on the left are saying that Bush lied when he said:
    I myself thought we had dodged a bullet. You know why? 
    Because I was listening to people probably over the 
    airwaves say, "The bullet has been dodged." And that was 
    what I was referring to.
Daily Howler points out that none other than NBC's Brian Williams said it on August 29th:

There's no effort to disseminate information. Very few radios and portable televisions, and we're inside, basically, a concrete structure. It's impossible to know.
