Hurricane Katrina might have caused more damage than first realized. It appears that
extensive damage might just now be coming to the surface that was done by the
media coverage and that same coverage now seems to be causing damage to the media.
Pajamas Media seems to have all the bases covered on this one: Major
media backtrack on own Katrina coverage
Despite media coverage that focused on poor blacks, of the 380 bodies formally
identified in New Orleans thus far, the Los Angeles paper said, a disproportionate
number were white — as measured against the city’s population.
After all of this, how can the media ever be trusted with the facts. One can only
hope that the media gets whats coming to it. If for no other reason than to rectify
it’s shameful reporting in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, so that it never happens
again. If one award is given to any reporter for this shameful episode it will truly
be a disgrace.
