I havent been paying attention to the news about New Orleans, getting most of the details second hand from my wife, and most of the opinions about the flooding from various blogs. But now I read a BBC report discussing how the U.S. Media is finally getting some backbone in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and the massive governmental incompetence that accompanied it (before, during, and after). Lets hope it's true, because it's about time. The Press has been letting the Neo-Cons walk all over them for years, blithely accepting almost everything they have said at face-value, never asking the hard questions, even when handed the most obviously egregious falsehoods.
If you want to hear reporting the way it ought to be done, listen to the BBC sometime, and realise what you're missing.
