Are individual reporters defying their Corporate Media masters?

Edited on Sat Sep-03-05 12:43 AM by Jade Fox

Has the situation in NO disgusted them so much they are saying, "screw
it, I'm going to tell the truth and if you don't like it fire me!"

I don't have cable, so I get all my news from the internet. But from what
I've been reading on DU, extrordinary things are happening on the
broadcast media, open anger and disgust at the Bush Administration
being the main one.

4. Ironically (I guess it's ironic anyway) they can see the same thing..

going on in Iraq. Maybe because most reporters haven't seen it with their
own eyes it hasn't turned their stomachs, but what do they think happens
in a war?

6. Bill Maher pretty much asked Anderson Cooper about this last night

he was like the one thing that the hurricane did for us is actually bring our press corps back and have them do their jobs!

9. It's possible.....

but I can't figure out why they didn't get nervous a long time ago
given they way Bush has pushed the economy to the edge.
