What Many Should be Saying

A New Low for the MSM?
The mainstream media's handling of
Hurricane Katrina and the disasters in New Orleans is a disgrace, possibly the
worst instance yet of media bias. Insane claims by left-wing nuts that President
Bush botched the recovery effort on purpose so as to kill black people are
repeated by the MSM in a chin-stroking mode, as if to say, "It's an interesting
question--they might be on to something." Meanwhile, no one points out that it
was President Bush who implored Governor Blanco to issue a first-ever mandatory
evacuation order for the city, an action by the President that probably saved
tens of thousands of lives.
Similarly, the media yammmer on and on about the
allegedly slow federal response to the hurricane, without noting that the
Governor of Louisiana has the power to call out the National Guard. Accusations
that lawlessness and looting in New Orleans are somehow the federal government's
fault are repeated endlessly; hardly anyone bothers to criticize the looters and
other criminals themselves. And where is the outrage that should be directed
toward the New Orleans Police Department? They were the authorities on the
scene, and they, under the direction of the city's Mayor--who had an emergency
plan in place, but apparently made no attempt to implement it--had the
responsibility to maintain law and order. Yet some policemen reportedly joined
in the looting, while a great many others turned tail and abandoned their
responsibilities.

-from powerline.com, they are dead on. Remember these are the guys who took down Dan Rather and the flaws on the GW National Guard report.
