My God...BBC is showing things the MSM haven't shown

[Greylyn58]

it is just plain shocking beyond words. I can't even find the words.

For those that can get it, BBC World is on PBS.

1. The coverage on the French station on our cable was some of

the best I have ever seen.

[BillZBubb]

2. You didn't expect the unvarnished truth from the MSM I'm sure.

They have to be nice to the Chimperor.

3. could you give a description to those of us who can not see?

I don't get BBC here in my corner of Texas---its "furrin"

[DoYouEverWonder]

5. They went down into the streets of New Orleans

and had video of the people who are now living in the French Quarter. Everything is destroyed and they are just sitting around waiting for help that will never come.

6. The Blacks in the age of slavery

look well-treated when compared to the Blacks in NO.

7. Like What? n/t

15. They showed groups of people begging for someone to help, someone to

bring food without any sign of anyone anywhere helping.

Then they cut to a shot of a dozen police, guns drawn, surrounding a grocery store with a single looter inside trying to find food.

The implication couldn't have been more obvious.

8. I get a BBC channel from cable...I haven't had the courage

or strength right now to look. If I do, I'd probably not be responsible for my actions after I did...

10. This BBC reporter went to the Convention Center

and he and his camera man showed parts on NO the MSM hasn't shown and they went into parts of the Convention Center showing the dead bodies that a being piled up in one area. Horrifying.

Then they filmed a chopper arrive in a nearby parking lot and just push out bottled water and I think some food. NO ONE even got out of the chopper...they just pushed it out. One woman was screaming about how they were being treated like animals(totally agreed).

Then as he talked and filmed they turned the camera away from these suffering people and pointed it down the street. He said that the police now seemed more concerned with 1 looter in a grocery store then the thousands of people around them.

Also showed the bodies of people floating in the water. God! It was awful.

Oh and thanks for the nice comment on my Sheridan. He's my baby(9 yrs old now) :)

11. We had a Golden that looks just like Sheridan...called her Sandy.

She had such a sweet expression and looked like she was smiling.

[1932]

14. The thing about the helicopter was that kids could run out and grab the

stuff they were pushing out (albeit while being totally dehumanized), BBC panned back to an area that was all old people and babies and mothers who couldn't run out and scrap over food.

12. Burning, devastated city---military vehicles rolling in shatteredstreets

past clumps of civilians.

Looked startlingly like Baghdad.

[Blaukraut]

13. powerful reporting

You see a very rare glimpse of the inside of the convention center. People are allowed to speak and voice their concern to the reporter.
One rather disturbing image - about 2 or 3 police cars, with multiple officers in the process of apprehending a couple of looters - not even 20 feet down the street from the center. This begs the question; if the cops can drive their cars that close to the center, what excuse is there not to evacuate these poor people, or at least bring food, water, and other supplies?

16. Same can be said about the media. they saw it coming and

positioned themselves to cover the story. They were there before the storm hit. Where was FEMA?

[blue agave]

17. Great ... my PBS is playing art videos ? eom

[smurfygirl]

18. I just watched this and I am in shambles

WTF is going on!!!
Why is it day 6 and people are still stranded in the city. Why give a fuck about looters at this point?

I am sickened and pissed off more than any words can describe.
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!
