I miss Peter Jennings. The only interest so far: they began with a quick interview with Sen. Mary Landrieu who may be tweaking her message. This time she emphasized that everyone in charge at the federal level needs to get help there as fast as possible. Well, that's an improvement, though she finished by thanking Bush. Again.
ADD: A little better now with a segment on race -- such as two wire service photos showing people taking food from a grocery store. One w black people was labeled as "looters" while the one with white people was labeled "people who found bread and water." Yes, blaming people for not evacuating is idiotic -- poor people who don't have cars, can't afford hotel rooms and can't charter a bus like some hotel guests did. How can the gov't be helpless in evacuating people? Why didn't they declare Friday a school holiday in the South and get every school bus headed to these cities to get people out? Why isn't Greyhound and Peter Pan etc donating services for a few days...rather than allowing people to rent buses for $2500 for a private charter as people have described on TV today?
