you guys are dense. every single bit of the coverage on Katrina was DAMNING and terrible and made the US government look like the fucking idiot baastards they are. It detailed their support for the rich and their abandonment of the poor. absolutely nothing in this coverage puts the government in a good light. there are over 150THOUSAND new orleans residents living in Houston now. the city of new orleans, one of the oldest i the entire country, is less than half of what it used to be. the government has earmrked BILIONS in relief aid and almost NONE of it has reached the people of new orleans, louisiana, missisipi and al other affected areas. the media has been shedding light on this bullshit.
the tsunami was on the news here for over a fucking MONTH nonstop with varied coverage and that called a lot of people into action, and if I include the many announcements and calls for relief aid for the tsunami it was over half a year. the city of houston alone raised over 3 MILLION dollars from private personal donations, from regular people, for the tsunami relief efforts.
(edited to remove the namecalling. sorry for that)
