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. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
