29. IMO they have been showing the reality of the situation ...
Edited on Thu Sep-01-05 03:45 PM by etherealtruth
They showed death, destruction and despair in contrast to a chimp who again, was too slow to respond to be good to anyone.

CNN has highlighted the human tragedy/crisis of this entire tragedy!

10. they really are good today`
Even Phillips earlier demanded 'the truth' from some military guy, saying there's a huge disconnect between what the federal gov't is saying and what's really happening on the ground in NOLA.

Shocking, coming from a loyal Bushbot...

25. I'm glad to hear Cafferty finally got off his
ass and removed his mouth from Bush's ass to actually tell it like it is. What has been truly disturbing to me in all of this is the media's focus on the looting, and the so-called "lawlessness and chaos", instead of the true tragedy unfolding and how desperate the people are. No mention of the fact that most looters are just taking food, water, diapers, etc., because they're desperate and they have NOTHING and no help is anywhere.

Most of the victims are poor and black, and the blatant indifference and racism of the repubs and congress and the media is finally ripping their mask off and letting people see them for what they really are.

21. I believe they fear being found COMPLICIT in another coverup like they did
for 9-11 and Bush's other soaring failures.

They reached their limit and can't keep the truth off the screen....there IS NO SPIN TO BE HAD.

20. You know this is is the one thing i've been thinking.....
Finally it seems the media (or at least CNN) has no option but to report the news.


And by God, they're actually doing it.

23. Wouldn't it be poetic justice of the purest ray serene to have
B*sh's misbegotten pResidency bookended by two disasters? A man-made disaster in New York that gave B*sh a man-made image of a "tough, decisive leader", and a natural disaster that naturally showed him to be a natural disaster all his own.

He'll burn in post-Presidential Historical Hell with Harding, Hoover and Nixon.

Aristus, are you crazy? Shrub is going to make them look like American heroes when all is said and done. Mark my words.

24. During the "Happy News" Press Conference
by Chertoff and Abu Gonzalez earlier, CNN ran an insert showing chaos, fires, the mess at the Convention Center, and somebody trying to break into a bank--in effect showing America "What they're saying is bullshit."

27. It's very sad it took something like this to wake up the MSM,
but it's happening. They're as outraged as we are. People are dying and Shrub is playing Mr. Fundraiser. Fuck Mr. Fundraiser, the people need water . . . NOW!!!!!!!!!

28. For those of us who don't have TV
and who are being referred to other threads that have even fewer details than this one...

What exactly are people on CNN saying, what are they reporting, etc.?

33. Anderson Cooper on now
He is quite upset. He is seeing first-hand the devastation and destruction. The people want answers, He wants answers for the people too. So many people are questioning how our government could let our country get into this situation.
