Katrina Takes a Toll on Truth, News Accuracy Rumors supplanted accurate information and media magnified the problem. Rapes, violence and estimates of the dead were wrong.

BATON ROUGE, La.

I am on record as saying it was probably not true. I cautioned everyone do not believe this until you see the bodies for yourself.

How does it feel to use a megaphone in a hurricane?

The MSM runs stuff all the time without corroboration.
Captain Janks who plays his phony phone calls on Howard Stern says he does it to show how hungry they are for a scoop.
Most of the time they just put him on without checking if he is legitimate. When they do call back, they are so stupid that they don't realize that his area code doesn't match up to where he says he is calling from.

The disgusting treatment of the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) Officers by the MSM is just another example. NOPD has its problems, but let’s not forget the NOPD has far more good Police Officers on the job, than the bad. But in the eyes of the MSM, most NOPD is bad.

According to Tony Snow radio show, over 700 police oficers on the book did not exist. They did not show up becuase they were not real. Nagin and the Police Captain have alot of 'splainin to do.

One thing going around FR is that Bill Clinton had a big Federal incentive to put fake police on the books in New Orleans:Bill Clinton's 100,000 Cops on the Street program

Nothing surprises me when it concerns the circle jerk of Clintonistias, democRats, and corruption.

Corrupt politicians making Politically Correct (PC) appointments and pulling other monkeyshines with law enforcement designated monies; will not be my yardstick to measure the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) performance during Katrina rescue operations.

NOPD Officers were allegedly told by their PC superiors that they were listed as AWOL whenever they did not remain overnight at the police stations. Given liberal logic is the uber oxymoron, I will give the NOPD professionals we worked with the benefit of the doubt.

And it would be wise for other FReepers to do the same before passing judgment upon the entire NOPD.

Your title should be "OF" and not "OFF" just in case someone else posts this again.
