What on earth leads you to assume that the vast majority did not in fact
help one another rather than committing crimes?


What's kind of interesting, in this whole thing, is that CNN (the supposed
"liberal" news outlet ) has been showing endless video of blacks looting and
shouting gibberish at the cameras, essentially since "Day One." It's hard
to imagine black people being presented in a worse light.

Fox News, on the other hand (the supposed "conservative" news outlet) has
been showing the same footage, but also spending many more hours covering
the *positive* aspects of the disaster recovery, showing all of the good
people who have pulled together in the face of adversity.

(This coverage tactic, by the way, mirrors Fox's coverage of the war in
Iraq -- the same coverage that has infuriated the Left as being "namby
pamby" war coverage. It seems that they always try to show one good thing
for each bad thing they cover -- although I have no idea if that's a
conscious decision, or just my impression. )

Sadly, I know all of this because I just spent the last 3 days dealing with
my mother-in-law's death, which meant endless hours sitting in hotel rooms
and FBOs, watching wall-to-wall Katrina coverage... Regardless, I find it
fascinating that the "Conservative Channel" has been much more positive
about the way Louisiana and Mississippi residents have been handling their
disaster.
