Katrina Misses New Orleans, Heavily Damages Mississippi

By Joseph B. Treaster and Kate Zernike

NEW ORLEANS

Hurricane Katrina pounded the Gulf Coast with devastating force at daybreak Monday, sparing New Orleans the catastrophic hit that had been feared but inundating parts of the city and heaping damage on neighboring Mississippi where it tossed boats, ripped away scores of roof tops and left many of the major coastal roadways impassable.

In fact, the Washington Post, CBS News, NBC, NPR and many others in the omniscient establishment press also reported New Orleans had been spared.

Check out Google: "New Orleans + spared"

Of course, these other organs were probably just parroting what the Times pronounced, as is their wont.

...my guess is their reporter met a few NO police officers, got the info needed,(since NYT reporters often call it in), but he didn't realize he was speaking to AWOL officers in Detroit.

I guarantee the Times didn't have one reporter down there covering it. Unless you count the "foreign" correspondents it has dispatched to Red States.

Such a lovely crop to choose from!
The MSM makes the terrifyingly toxic concoction swirling around New Orleans seem positively pristine!

I meant in comparisons the MSM makes the terrifyingly toxic concoction swirling around New Orleans seem positively pristine!

Fellow Freepers:

At the suggestion of writer Michelle Malkin last Friday, I have cobbled together a blogsite called Texas Clearinghouse for Katrina Aid to serve as a clearinghouse for refugee efforts in Texas.

Texas is getting more refugees than any other state -- that's fine, we'll take them all -- but we need help providing them with food, clothing, and shelter.

If you are a refugee, you can information that will help you find relief. If you want to donate or volunteer, you can find someone who needs you.

Right now the site mostly covers Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio but I will add various churches, schools, and other charities in Ft. Worth and Lubbock tonight. My wife spent yesterday at Reunion Arena in Dallas handing out care packages and otherwise ministering to the refugees as a representative of her employer.

There are a lot of churches and other organizations in Texas that need help in dealing with the problem and I would greatly appreciate it if you would get the word out.

Many thanks,

Michael McCullough

Stingray blogsite

I want to see the media pay for what they're trying to do here.

For a supposedly responsible news outlet to politicize a natural disaster during rescue operations is beyond negligence. This is criminal.

They can't even claim they are just reporting what others say. Two polls now show that the general public isn't focusing blame, AP and CNN.

If you have ideas of how we can put a shot across the bow of these cretins, legally, or better yet, directly into the bridge, FReepmail me, I want to hear them.

This must not go unanswered.
