Media Spins Apart!

Looking back at what the media said about the mess in New Orleans as against what actually happened is another black eye for the spin doctors on the left coast. They were so sure that the general public would not take the time to check up on these fantastic heads lines that we saw every night in the newspapers and on TV -

School Bus Nagin, as Rush calls him, told everyone that the death toll would exceed 10,000 and he ordered 25,000 body bags just to make sure in case he was wrong and the count would be higher, he would be ready. The media loved this. Lots of dead people, killed by President Bush.

Ray would know all about body counts because he is the one that decided that the 260 buses that were in the parking lot weren't needed as part of the evacuation plan. He figured all those people that didn't have a car wouldn't make it out in time and would be swept away. Why even try, after all when Ray is about to go on national TV to bash Bush for not having FEMA there in time, he can't be bothered with those poor people. They will have to fend for themselves.

Has anyone from the lame steam media ever asked Ray why he didn't put those buses into service when he had the chance on Saturday, 48 hours before the storm hit? The media wouldn't dare - the puppet masters would be outraged. He is a brother of the liberal left - he has been corrupt all of his life, way attack him now? Oh, okay.

Of course, the body count didn't quite make it to the 10,000 mark, I think it is at 1000 for all three states, but the media kept trumpeting that figure for weeks even when it was obvious it was wrong.

Remember the media coverage of the toxic waste that was in the flood waters that poured into the city? - not so - They just reported that now the city is mostly pumped out and they have found that the water is no more polluted than at any other time when it just rains in New Orleans - the media really didn't care about this report though, what was important was that it made good copy at the time and it ran for weeks as another item to blame Bush because he cut the funds for installing much needed treatment plants - again, all false - but who cares - it sounds good. Just like the Rather bogus story, it should be right even when it was wrong.

Will we see a follow up story setting the record straight - of course not, what a laugh - can you just hear the anchor saying, " the story that we reported on in New Orleans a few weeks ago was in error - we said the death toll would be 10,000 but it was only a 1000. Sorry we were off by 9000." Can you imagine the laughter and the gasps - won't happen - not ever!

Hey, what's happened to Air America? Remember the Marxist radio station that stole $800,000 dollars from the Boys and Girls Clubs of America to support it's failing enterprise and pay Al Frankin's big salary? Have you heard anything on the TV or in the newspaper on how this is playing out? Did you ever see or hear anything about this except on the internet? Amazing

There is tons more but it's a waste of time. The puppet masters that pull the strings on the Democrats do the same thing on the reporters and editors - the media has fallen to such depths that I can't see them ever regaining any credibility.
