Watching Faux News contradict their own coverage.
I stopped for a beer yesterday afternoon, and they had Faux on the TV. While their "reporters" were giving the news, "Things are out of control", "FEMA has really screwed this up", "I keep thinking things have to get better, but it just keeps getting worse", "FEMA can't get water or food to Superdome", "FEMA can't get anything right", etc., etc.

At the same time they had banners on the screen, saying, "FEMA doing superb job", FEMA had necessary supplies in place", "Superdome has had, and still has plenty of food, water", "FEMA in control".

This kept going on and on and on, in an increasing disaster. And they still hadn't "discovered" the 50,000 people at the convention center waiting to be rescued.

5. They are not in the Convention Center
They are outside waiting for help, even if it's just food and water to keep them alive. I saw an interiew with one person there who said rumors were everywhere on the street that busses would be there to help them leave.

6. I noticed that too
You have reporters literally looking over their shoulders for attackers and yet the anchor tries to reassure everyone that our LEADER is doing all he can.

Hannity was hilarious last night-he tried desperately to get a Medical person to talk about the looters and all she wanted to talk about was the complete lack of anything getting there. He tried twice and then gave up.

Oh and the looting is because of God not being in schools.
