1. This was excellent!

excellent...

[KyndCulture]

2. FANTASTIC!

Thanks for this! I've been looking for a lot of these statements and they are all in one spot now.

3. What shows so clearly

Is the sharp contrast between those who were/are apalled by the disaster and the lack of response, and those who have no other interest than "spinning" the situation for their own political purposes....

I am disgusted by Hannity, O'Reilly, Chertoff, Brown and the talking head whores whom they pay to appear on their shows to agree with them.

on edit: bookmarked.

4. Another Thought

Do you think we should have a list of reporters that are on the side of truth , have their emails handy and consistently email them? Thank them, remind them that we are watching and make sure that they don't cross over??

Just an idea.

5. Anderson Cooper is awesome!

Attacking all the self-congratulatory politicians.

[Bonobo]

6. This should be seen be everyone. Voted for Greatest.

7. I'm not very impressed --

Cooper challenging politicians congratulating each other is good; Shepard Smith was consistently good; Rivera, too.

Russert gets a little fiery in one part.

Koppel is too calm. How can anyone interviewing these people be CALM?

:grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:

10. When Koppel is calm, he reels them in

He made the Daily Show last night with his "Don't you people watch TV?" remarks...

8. Journalists' outrage visible in coverage St Pete Times Florida

Reporters react pointedly to witnessing the shortcomings of the official reaction to the hurricane.

For Campbell Brown, the anger peaked when she reached the New Orleans Convention Center.

In the area for days covering the landfall and aftermath of Hurricane Katrina for NBC News, Brown had seen plenty of devastation. But the sight of 20,000 people trucked to the facility amid promises of provisions and comfortable shelter, only to find nothing, made the reporter's blood boil.

"Watching the power struggles play out between New Orleans officials and the state and federal government has been beyond frustrating. ... They let the bureaucracy get in the way of saving lives," said Brown, the anchor on NBC's weekend Today show, who grew up in Louisiana. "A lot of people died, I believe unnecessarily. And there has to be some accountability."
