Katrina Revisited
Via Instapundit.
Jonah Goldberg from The National Review.
All of those stories about, in Paula Zahn’s words, “bands of rapists, going block to block”? Not true. The tales of snipers firing on medevac helicopters? Bogus. The yarns, peddled on Oprah by New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin and the New Orleans police chief, that “little babies” were getting raped in the Superdome and that the bodies of the murdered were piling up? Completely false. The stories about poor blacks dying in comparatively huge numbers because American society “left them behind”? Nah-ah.
Worth taking the time to read the whole article. Remember – the media, with all of its resources deployed in New Orleans, couldn’t get the story straight, how do we know they have a clue about what is going on in Iraq?
