Did anyone just hear on WWL - No new media allowed into NO??!!

[spuddonna]

The guy on WWL said they were told 'no more media'. He said "Uh, we got in anyway..." and didn't elaborate further.

People are surviving because they're being self-sufficient...

Edited to add: He mentioned this after he was talking about the Guard and their machines guns being such a presence in the (forgive me, I don't know the area that well) the Elisseum Fields, where they have a staging area?

[nonconformist]

1. The world is watching Bush and his crooked FEMA allowing people to die

can't have any of that shit. Our beautiful minds and all.

[goclark]

2. But they media could ride on the backs of the trucks

in Iraq.

They think the media won't say their crap speech in NO.

[goclark]

3. Duplicate

[Spazito]

4. I wondered when they would do that! Amazing, they can't get any

leadership in there except to ensure the media can't go in. Despicable.

[Sydnie]

5. And help is only coming because the stories are being told!

Bless those that are telling the story.

[mzmolly]

6. nominated, everyone needs to know this.

so glad they're going in anyhow.

[Pallas180]

7. that's a bad sign - they dont want the media reporting what they're

going to do...sounds like they're going to open fire on those at the
convention center or tazer them.

there are reportedly teenagers running around with guns, but the rest are families and women with babies and old people.

another disaster is coming down this pike.

[BlueJac]

8. wow

[C_U_L8R]

9. Bull Fckn Sh*t !!!

Let them keep us away !

The world will bear witness.

[bobbieinok]

11. too many people seeing what's happening on WWL or foreign news

and calling republican politicians and yelling

so cut off info

if they could get all media out, could blow up everything not drowned and say 'gee, what a tragedy; you were told to leave'

[phusion]

12. It's like Hiroshima

All Western journalists banned from the city after the bombing.

[Beam Me Up]

13. "They don't want the media to report what they ae about to do."

Wake the fuck up, America.

[Just Me]

14. Ruh roh!!!

That is NOT good news. You only cut-off media when you seek to hide something.

[rainbow4321]

15. Yep...we knew it was just a matter of time...Rove saw enough on TV

All Rove needed was a day of "dead bodies at the convention center....if the media is there, why can't the feds get there"...not to mention the Homeland Security guy trying to paint a bright picture. His news conf. was on a split screen, the other half showing looonnnggg lines of people yelling at the camera "send help" in unision--I noticed CNN put the audio of the people's yelling at the same level as the Homeland guy's voice.

[onecent]

16. well that's bull shit

[frazzledmom]

17. I saw this coming.. by the end of the week

it'll be a total news blackout.

[AnnInLa]

18. No media can interview or photograph the evacuees

in San Antonio either....And, so it starts. Will the evacuees and stranded become the "coffins from Iraq?"

Please keep kicked.

P.S. I sure hope the networks don't listen to this...the reporters on the ground are heroes, IMHO.

NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams now on...he has moved to Metarie, LA. Hmmm.

[rainbow4321]

21. Next up: "The disaster/death toll is in it's last throes"

Guess reports like I just saw on WWL internet site of "dead bodies are being tied to stop signs so they can be picked up later" was not reflecting nicely on chimpass and the other feds.

I am waiting for the streaming video (local NO news) on the Net to start having a "can't link to site" message.

[spuddonna]

22. Wait, I thought that Metarie, LA was a suburb INSIDE NO? n/t

[AnnInLa]

31. Metarie is a suburb...but, Brian had been broadcasting from the F. Quarter

[Bonhomme Richard]

20. It's Homeland Security taking over. Can't control the............

info with eyewitnesses.

[MO_Dem]

23. All that bad news was unbalancing shrub's

balanced life. Off with their cameras!

[Judi Lynn]

24. How convenient that the gubmint JUST announced it has electric bullets

in the last month! Hey! Crowd control! Whattdya think? Is it time to test them out?

From Daily Kos:

U.S. Develops Electric Bullets to Fire Into Crowds
by SusanHu
Tue Aug 23rd, 2005 at 10:18:37 PDT

(T)he government is developing a new generation of electric shock weapons that could be fired from across a city street or across a sports stadium. A Texas company called Lynntech is developing a projectile that can be fired from a shotgun or grenade launcher that sticks to the target and delivers an 80,000-volt shock for seven seconds. Further shocks can be triggered via remote control. (From Democracy Now! headlines, Aug. 23, 2005)

25. Why am I not surprised?

The reporters on the ground are doing great work. I admire them and really hope they stay. After all, with no law enforcement, who's going to make them leave?

[me b zola]

26. They don't like the truth getting out!

This is horrible.

I am so scared for the people who are still in NO. God help them all.

[katinmn]

28. Where are Judy Miller and Robert Novak when the WH needs them?

Oops. Sorry Judy's in Jail and Novak was bumped off his show.

[katinmn]

29. CNN was surprising candid in thier reporting this afternoon

in their own incompetent way.
("These people are SO poor, and SO black" - Either Wolf or McCafferty actually said that)

It seems the media has turned on *. So now * is going to lock them out. They can't let any more truth getting out.

[Don Claybrook]

30. It's a sure sign that the federal government has taken charge

when they start to hide everything from public view. I guess the truth hurt too much today.

I hope some renegade reporters stay in town.

I hope he doesn't get by with this genocide.

[intheflow]

32. Just logged on. Very comforting video of the electric guys working.

I can Rove now: "Sooth the savages! Show them hopeful pictures! Don't show the people in the sreets. Conduct all emergency procedures in secret. What the people don't know won't hurt them."
