I was on the thread about the rape, murder and mutilation of the little girl at the Superdome. It was a sickening story that appeared in the Guardian.

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. I had already read that the gunshots at the rescue helicopters was a fabricated story which actually stopped rescue efforts for a few hours.

I was blasted bigtime by Freepers. I was freep mailed numerous links and told not to be so cynical. Everyone had heard the same story and knew it was true. Many people got suckered into believing it all because Nagin said so, or CNN reported, or Fox News said it too.

I think the media was at its lowest point in history. They were all patting themselves on the back and what they really did was set themselves up as an accomplice to the deaths of many trying to get rescued.

I never believe anything reported by the any media until I see outright proof.

You are not only partly correct, you are 100% correct. I for one, am likely among those you have referenced, and for that I apologize.

I succumbed to the MSM hype of the moment, when I should have known better and reacted accordingly.

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