"
Isnt anyone at the Times the least bit ashamed of their shoddy work product?"
Not in the least. But apparently their readership is (or lack of) and their (lack of) advertizers are, and why The Times is a billion $$ in debt.

Maybe once things settle down a bit someone can review the tapes of the officers who were looting "non-essentials."

I did not ignore the Sharia part. (The limit on Newsbusters articles is 400 words -- it ain't easy.) The Islamic law provisions in the new Iraqi and existing Iranian Constitutions are quite different.
In Iran, it is an absolute, and outside religious authorities can overrule any decision of the government. In Iraq, that is NOT an absolute, and no power is granted to any person or entity outside the government. There is a "take-back" clause in the Iranian Constitution, as there was in the Constitution of the USSR. There is no take-back clause in the Iraqi Constitution.
And there is no straw man in the other part, either. The 2000 Louisiana Evacuation Plan was developed because the FEMA law required that, and paid some/all of its costs. When HS was created, it inherited all of FEMA's law, regulations, personnel AND all 51 (including DC) existing state Plans.
Again, in 400 words I couldn't discuss that. But the truth is as I stated. And the Times was both incompetent and dishonest.

The media is so focused on covering up the incompetent democrat government in NOLA, and trying to create rasism, the haven't even bothered to look at places which were hardest hit, like Waveland Miss, where the entire comunity was destroyed. But that was mostly working class whites, so that doesn't matter. They got both the wind and the rain, Plus a 30 ft storm surge which pretty much wiped it off the map.
I'm so sick of hearing about a bunch "poor" looters and gang bangers in NO, and the media spin trying to blame Bush for everything.
I noticed that spin as well, trying to say Texas "learned" from Katrina. NO they just followed their disaster plan, unlike NOLA. They had better people in government who could act under preasure.
The media even tried to blame that bus that burned on Bush, saying that he contracted a bus company with a shoddy safety record. What utter B.S. We need an inquiry into the actions of media over the last 4 years, their bias, and utter contempt for the nation.
To: Congressman Billybob
Four years after 9/11, Katrina showed the world that performance standards for the Department of Homeland Security were so low that it was not required to create real plans to respond to real disasters.
The New York Times has performance standards so low they have no plans to respond to real disasters, like the diminishing readership of their paper.
The New York Times is a sissy left wing rag.

I suspected this, thanks. "and paid some/all of its costs". It just had the feel of work done to comply with grant requirements and then put away.
To: Nathan Zachary
I heard that something like 6 counties were practically uninhabitable in Mississippi...and the media is nowhere to be found because they just don't advance their biased agenda.
"We need an inquiry into the actions of media over the last 4 years, their bias, and utter contempt for the nation"
I agree. While the media may enjoy its protected status under freedom of the press, it has become obvious we no longer have a free-press. They are a completely bought-and-paid subsidiary of the Democrat Party. Worse, is that they've practically become their own political party, advancing an agenda over "public" airwaves...with privileges and protections we could never acquire without being in violation of some law or statute. This is what always made CFR a joke and most dangerous.

The Times has dozens of its reporters and editors working on various aspects of hurricane coverage. Apparently, none of these crack journalists have yet discovered what the blogosphere has known for two weeks.
And this is why their subscription numbers are falling.

Asking whether the Old Grey lady has any shame is akin to asking if Communist apologists have any shame, if Communists have any shame?
"There is no truth, only that which advances the party". That worked until the Internet came along.

Actually, I typed my headline correctly, but the FR program put those codes in place of the quotes. By copy of this note to the Admin Mod I'm asking for the correction of the headline.
