"You get so hung up as a reporter on what the big picture is that you use generalizations that become untrue," McBride said.
Of course, that big picture is making the Bush administration look bad.
And, in the interest of furthering anything that might make Bush look bad, liberal reporters were quick to accuse Black refugees at the Thunderdome of all manner of violent and sick behavior. So, who's a racist again?
"Of course, that big picture is making the Bush administration look bad."
Yup. In their zeal to make the President look bad, they echoed any and all rumors as fact. Repeat the lies long enough...
What's that saying--"A lie will make it around the world before the truth even makes it off the starting line". Doesn't matter now what the truth is--the tin-foil crowds will run with the earlier reports and claim government cover-ups, black helicopters ferrying corpses away, etc.

Substitute "some" with "most if not all"
I just knew that all those images of looting and pillaging were created on a soundstage by Karl Rove to further his secret agenda.
Interesting that in this day and age of instant news, that we should be prepared for much much more of this. Without time to have cooler heads prevail, we will be subject to lots and lots of rumors, the nastier the bigger the broadcast.
It is reported that black hurricane victims in New Orleans have begun eating corpses to survive. Four days after the storm, thousands of blacks in New Orleans are dying like dogs. No-one has come to help them. I am a sixty-four year old African-American. New Orleans marks the end of the America I strove for. I am hopeless. I am sad. I am angry against my country for doing nothing when it mattered.

No exaggeration here!
I think he was in Baton Rouge...Who knows?
You know, with all this instant information these days it actually takes about 3-5 days to actually get the truth from any story.
Gee you don't say? No.. AP wouldn't dare.. What disgusts me more are the the Freepers that were quick to pick up and spread such sensational unsourced unsubstantiated nonesense because it furthered thier agenda (whatever that may be.)You expect this sort of behavior from the msm, but this used to be a place that was skeptical of news accounts and could ferret out obvious overblown sensational crap.
And "exaggerated" with "fabricated".
The square one of this media folly "big picture" is now quite obvious and quite upsetting. In light of the proven left bias reporting and pure misrepresentation of the facts from/about our war on terrorism and Hurricane Katrina, are we to believe anything the media prints/says anymore? I don't!
Any bets on whether this person:
A) Votes?
B) Pays taxes?
C) Served on a jury?
D) Served in the military?
Yeah well we had quite a discussion about the spread of what I considered to be obvious unsourced unsubstantiated rumor in the immidiate aftermath of Katrina. Unfortunately, I would have to say the skeptical posters were outnumbered by those believing in cannibalism and child gang rape by a substantial margin.
So you don't think this was exaggerated?
