| Evil FEMA Blocks Vulture Press from Dead VIctims Photo Snaps |
| 2005-09-07 |
| Forced to defend what some critics consider its slow response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina, the Federal Emergency Management Agency said on Tuesday it does not want the news media to take photographs of the dead as they are recovered from New Orleans. FEMA, which is leading the rescue efforts, rejected requests from journalists to accompany rescue boats as they went out to search for storm victims, Reuters reported. A FEMA spokeswoman told the wire service that space was need on the rescue boats and assured Reuters that "the recovery of the victims is being treated with dignity and the utmost respect." "We have requested that no photographs of the deceased be made by the media," the spokeswoman told Reuters via e-mail. |

| #3 My housekeeper watches CBS Evening News and they were just showing floating corpses in NO. Also, Bob Scheifer (sp?) did a story on the helo pilots who abandoned their mission to rescue some people (the figure is noe 150!!!) and said this was another example of Federal fumbling. Absolutely unbelievable. Arianna Huffington is blasting the media for covering for Bush and the media is actually trying to villify him. I made her turn it off. I am totally disgusted with the MSM and the Democrats. and to think, I used to BE one. I agree with .com, we are headed for another Civil War. |

| #2 still clingin' to the Manifesto like any, has-been, errr, Democrat. Just keep using class politics. This is what you get when your Party has run out of ideas, and your policies are a proven failure. Oh, yeah, and when you've driven a car into a lake. |
