Sheesh! That was written a month after the hurricane hit. The fricking MSM was still lying their asses off 1,000 times a day about every myth that has since been thoroughly discredited. Hell, even the leftist NY & LA Times & the USA Today have since admitted that the stinking MSM got a lot of chit horrifically wrong about Katrina. But hey! I realize you are completely incapable of accepting any facts or credible, independently verifiable evidence that runs counter to your zealously blind, rigidly inflexible leftist ideology. That's your personal shortcoming bub, not mine. Message 22691079 Katrina spawned plague of misinformation USA TODAY Much of what was reported as fact by (local) government officials and the media during the chaotic first week afterward turned out to be fiction. Myths and misinformation multiplied, from how many people died to what conditions were really like inside the Louisiana Superdome. Message 21784170 Major media backtrack on own Katrina coverage ...The New York Times and Los Angeles Times both put forth front-page stories this weekend that dramatically contradict much of their own coverage of the disaster.... Message 21985102 Gale-Force Exaggeration Katrina’s other consequence. ...We now know, thanks to valuable post-mortems by the Los Angeles Times and the New Orleans Times-Picayune, that a great deal of the "great reporting" was in fact great rumor mongering.... Message 21746761 Katrina Media Malpractice: Worse than we Knew!* The bottom line is that the mass media blew their coverage of Hurricane Katrina badly. Has anyone paid a price for that malpractice? Not that I know of. Last I saw, media figures were awarding one another prizes for their Katrina coverage. http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=22480259 Popular Mechanics Takes on Katrina Myths Message 22234648 Someone tell me, other than the position of Hurricane Katrina, what significant part of the story the media got right during the first two weeks of the coverage, especially regarding the effects on the city of New Orleans. http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=21819353 Message 22042646
