5. CNN is showing the reality of NOLA

Describing the airport, the evacuation, the sick, the dying, how much of a disaster this is.

29. IMO they have been showing the reality of the situation ...

Edited on Thu Sep-01-05 03:45 PM by etherealtruth

They showed death, destruction and despair in contrast to a chimp who again, was too slow to respond to be good to anyone.

CNN has highlighted the human tragedy/crisis of this entire tragedy!

10. they really are good today`

Even Phillips earlier demanded 'the truth' from some military guy, saying there's a huge disconnect between what the federal gov't is saying and what's really happening on the ground in NOLA.

Shocking, coming from a loyal Bushbot...

25. I'm glad to hear Cafferty finally got off his

ass and removed his mouth from Bush's ass to actually tell it like it is. What has been truly disturbing to me in all of this is the media's focus on the looting, and the so-called "lawlessness and chaos", instead of the true tragedy unfolding and how desperate the people are. No mention of the fact that most looters are just taking food, water, diapers, etc., because they're desperate and they have NOTHING and no help is anywhere.

Most of the victims are poor and black, and the blatant indifference and racism of the repubs and congress and the media is finally ripping their mask off and letting people see them for what they really are.

21. I believe they fear being found COMPLICIT in another coverup like they did

for 9-11 and Bush's other soaring failures.

They reached their limit and can't keep the truth off the screen....there IS NO SPIN TO BE HAD.

20. You know this is is the one thing i've been thinking.....

Finally it seems the media (or at least CNN) has no option but to report the news.

And by God, they're actually doing it.

23. Wouldn't it be poetic justice of the purest ray serene to have

B*sh's misbegotten pResidency bookended by two disasters? A man-made disaster in New York that gave B*sh a man-made image of a "tough, decisive leader", and a natural disaster that naturally showed him to be a natural disaster all his own.

He'll burn in post-Presidential Historical Hell with Harding, Hoover and Nixon.

24. During the "Happy News" Press Conference

by Chertoff and Abu Gonzalez earlier, CNN ran an insert showing chaos, fires, the mess at the Convention Center, and somebody trying to break into a bank--in effect showing America "What they're saying is bullshit."

What exactly are people on CNN saying, what are they reporting, etc.?

33. Anderson Cooper on now

He is quite upset. He is seeing first-hand the devastation and destruction. The people want answers, He wants answers for the people too. So many people are questioning how our government could let our country get into this situation.
