There could not have been a more 'stark' contrast (to those who actually paid attention and looked at the facts) between the citizen response to Katrina between your state (add in Alabama to that) and Louisiana.

It was stunning to see, that is, when the SRM would show blips of what was happening in Mississippi & Alabama; how those citizens were actually 'cleaning up' and helping each other out. There was no continual whining and wringing of hands on camera; no screaming about racism. Those citizens did what had to be done and government functioned the way it was intended: not as a 'forceful' savior but a backup system to assist.

Those stories surfaced sporadically however; meanwhile, that was GW's blitzkreig as the national media kept airing those pathetic souls in LA, sitting on a bridge, waiting. GW should have used the states as examples but instead, we got 23.5/7 coverage of the state of Louisiana. Another fact barely mentioned was that the levees breached had been neglected continually, even though funds were allocated to maintain them and shore them up.

It's just heartwarming to focus only on the segment showing nothing but despair.

I remember Charlie Gibson and abc being forcefully expelled in East Biloxi, by angry citizens fed up with their lies. Charlie is lucky... we saw the propaganda for what it was. Now they worship “their” president and they still are nothing but a propaganda machine for the left.
