It's Unanimous : CNN, ABC & NBC all did "blame pieces on Mayor/Gov"
Edited on Tue Sep-06-05 05:51 PM by cthrumatrix
with no input from the Mayor or Gov.

NBC did the FEMA "said" & therefore it must be true.


Nagin and Blanco better take OFF THE DAMN GLOVES --- NOW !




I would add it somewhat a "co-inkydink" that all 3 came out with

similar stories on the same day --- Rove is working it

1. Really?
How did they attribute the slow response in Mississippi to the Gov of Louisiana and the Mayor of New Orleans? That would take some fancy 'splainin'

3. they looked at city plan which shows they could never evacuate all with
such a strong storm ...therefore the Gov/Mayor should have gotten FEMA involved for evacuation needs.

7. Ah, so.
FEMA can't evacuate and help in Mississippi unless NO and LA have filled out the proper paper work for their city and State? That is fancy! :D

Wonder how MS feels about being a second-class state?

24. FEMA...hah!!!
Then we'd have 1,000 dead before the storm even hit! FEMA wasn't prepared to come in days after the storm...now they're actually admitting that they were ready days before??

5. We need somebody strong to refute this, NOW!
James Lee Witt knows what he's talking about, Wes Clark has military experience. Who else should be out there, everywhere, on the news and talk shows?

9. NBC did a good job
Edited on Tue Sep-06-05 05:58 PM by Halliburton
they had David Gregory do a good piece on Shrub and his lack of response. CNN's was so downright awful that I changed the channel. And I didn't watch ABC's so I wouldn't know how their report was.

13. I really think the Mayor and the Governor need professional help
They've probably never been in a political gauntlet of this magnitude and its in our interests to help them and get them scripted and in unison. Otherwise, the swiftboating will work. Any ideas? I can't imagine any elected dems will be of much help.

16. NBC mentioned the buses, but the rest was on Fed Govt
That's what I got out of it. Most of the report I saw was very harsh against bush and fed govt.

22. need to media blast
them about the National Response Plan. Just posted a thread on it http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4668155>. It's the smoking gun in this analysis that NO ONE is reporting on.

25. I'm sure that in time they'll tell their side of the story. But this
isn't about evacuation alone - it's about RESPONSE TIME.

26. Many of the dead were still alive after the hurricane.
Failure to evacuate did not kill these people. Failure to send help did.

From Rove's mind in your living rooms.
