Dateline NBC: Katrina five years later

[PLYMCO_PILGRIM]

Don't do NBC, thanks.

I would rather do my dishes, and clean my bathroom.

I'm with you ordinarily...I initially watched only to see how much political hackery Brian Williams could fit into one program...

I LOVE that Brian Williams is somehow seen as biased.

Jon Stewart sees it

I don't get Fox News on my television. Have they done any retrospective on Katrina at all?

I ask because some folks wouldn't believe the sun would rise in the morning unless Fox told them so. And if they should hear or see anything offered by any other news outlet, they would turn a blind eye and shout "bias!", as if Fox has none of its own.

Of course I could Google Fox News, thanks Plymco! But I was interested in the tone and timbre of their 'news' broadcast and the amount of time they devoted to the Katrina aftermath.

As some have fear and loathing for any news outlet other than those with the bias they prefer, I thought it might be helpful for me to understand precisely what Fox had to say. Just to put some perspective on this whole 'news bias' argument.

It is sad how the white people have not rebuilt the chocolate city yet.

 

[geauxtohell]

Wow. Minimal NOLA bashing posts. I am impressed.

I just got back from the city a couple of weekends ago. After being there pre and post Katrina things subjectively look much better but there is still a long, long ways to go.

FactCheck.org: Katrina: What Happened When

As in any case of a disaster of this size, the failure to foresee the scope of the disaster is the prime cause of the deaths and property loss. The only way to prevent a repeat is to evacuate much earlier when a major hurricane is headed that way. And to build with the knowledge that New Orleans will flood again.

As for the clusterfuck after Katrina, on the Federal level, what else could one expect when the appointee heading the agency is a failed horse show manager. As far as local government was concerned, it was Louisiana, after all.

I have read of a number of groups like this in New Orleans. Perhaps a lesson has been learned.

It is sad that you are such an asshole.

The Friday before the storm, no one in the city thought it would hit.

That Saturday morning, Nagin called for an evacuation.

The storm hit early Tuesday morning.

Legally, there were and still are questions about the legality of a "mandatory evacuation"

Pragmatically, it would take three months to force every person out of their house against their will.

The reality is that a certain percentage of people won't/can't evacuate for whatever reason and it is always going to be that way.

"If God is willing and da creek don't rise" on HBO was good. I missed Dateline.

I did noticed the exits on I-10 east of New Orleans and south of Slidell are now permanently closed.

Oh yeah. Slidell got frigging slammed.

At least the Scuttlebutt is still open.
