Category 4 Biased Reporting Predicted
Well Rita has just hit Category 4. Dems and the liberal press are already waiting with their tongues out ready to pounce on the Bush administration for any and all consequences bestowed upon us from Mother Nature.
The news media have taken their posts around all possible landing points of Rita, waiting to show the world what Rita will expose wrong with the Bush Administration. Perhaps one of these times a blowing shingle will whack one of them in the head and end this media circus. Standing in the eye of the storm, bending their legs and swaying to make sure the public sees that they are risking their lives for the sake of a story. This time I hope they get the story right. Rather than reporting fake numbers of dead, exaggerating how many bloated dead bodies are floating down the streets, perhaps this time, they can put down their mikes and lend a hand to a people that obviously needed help. I would much prefer that the news shows reported, "We are not able to broadcast at this time, because we are here and we are needed" I cringed each day, as reporters showed up freshly showered, stomachs full, to report on the devastation and ruin of the people of New Orleans. If you desire to be where the hurricane hits, then you should become part of the solution not the problem.
And then Ben Stein wrote: More Mysteries of Katrina:Why is it that the snipers who shot at emergency rescuers trying to save people in hospitals and shelters are never mentioned except in passing, and Mr. Bush, who is turning over heaven and earth to rescue the victims of the storm, is endlessly vilified?What church does Rev. Al Sharpton belong to that believes in passing blame and singling out people by race for opprobrium and hate?What special abilities does the media have for deciding how much blame goes to the federal government as opposed to the city government of New Orleans for the aftereffects of Katrina?If able-bodied people refuse to obey a mandatory evacuation order for a city, have they not assumed the risk that ill effects will happen to them?When the city government simply ignores its own sick and hospitalized and elderly people in its evacuation order, is Mr. Bush to blame for that?Is there any problem in the world that is not Mr. Bush's fault, or have we reverted to a belief in a sort of witchcraft where we credit a mortal man with the ability to create terrifying storms Where did the idea come from that salvation comes from hatred and criticism and mockery instead of love and co-operation? Ben Stein is a writer, actor, economist, and lawyer living in Beverly Hills and Malibu. He also writes "Ben Stein's Diary" in every issue of The American Spectator.It’s time for all us to get behind our President and offer our words of encouragement, and write our Senators and Congressmen urging them to support our President

Yes, it's the media that should be saving people and not say FEMA.
*Sarcastic Clap*
Actually it should be people saving people.
The Dome was never classified as an Emergency Shelter. It was a last resort evacuation center. People were told to bring their supplies there.
openmind?
I have no idea, perhaps it was your tone. Zero Spin and some of the others remained. Which leaves me to believe, you were a vicious attacker, and it's a Republican Blog, you are a guest, and I guess you outstayed your welcome. You might want to try the Democratic Blog, you may have more success.
I'm not a shill for the GOP openmind, my soul purpose in life is to drive you crazy. Appears to be working :)
you said: Also, since when do reporters stop doing their jobs to do the jobs of others? Should war reporters drop their pens and grab a gun and start shooting? Why don’t you stop posting ideological nonsense and drive to the storm area and help?
stop doing their jobs? They started doing that when Bush got elected. They are no longer reporting, but using the news to get the liberal message out.
FEMA did know they were there. However, You just can't drive a truck of water up to the dome, with that many people in need. Thought and tactics must be deployed. Why? Ever hear of crowd stampedes? Ever hear of crowds getting out of hand?
If not done correctly, another disaster could of happened in front of the dome. Innocent children/ women and the weak could of been injured in the quest for water.
One has to stop and think about the big picture. Sure some people died while waiting, but many more would of died if the mission of rescue was done incorrectly.
Maddie,
give up you'll never change openmind, he/she obviously has a closed mind
you said: Please please PLEASE point me to a liberal hate message that is on the GOP.com blog.
i say

Maddie, I was just wondering, what is it that you do for a living?
