Katrina Coverage

Analyzing the news reports and politics of the New Orleans hurricane.


Who's right about the reports of violence?

"The Great New Orleans Media Cover-Up" starts with:

Were journalists lying in their reports during the post-Katrina savagery, or are they lying now, in denying it ever happened? Can you put toothpaste back in the tube?

Unfortunately, the rest of the post is badly-formatted, and I think there's a very long comment taking up half the page. So, I'll leave it to you to read it and figure out whether it says something of interest or not.

However, I will note that - for some wacky reason - the MSM keeps trying to downplay the violence that occured in the aftermath, and that makes me quite suspicious. As well as various other loose ends and coincidences.

And, there's also the matter of contrary indicators. Generally speaking, if Reason Magazine supports an idea, I know there has to be something wrong with it in some way or other. In fact, the post above was brought to my attention by this Reason post (nofollow in effect). See, they apparently think the first post is loony enough that it proves their attempts to debunk the reports of violence. And, that post is from the same author of the interview with Major Ed Bush. I am getting more and more suspicious by the minute.
