The National news media and all media are doing a terrible politically-focused job covering Katriana. They have politicized the problems to the maximum extent and as a result, their coverage is biased, but even worse it is failing to tell the story of the successes.
It has also cost lives. Because of the total focus on New Orleans and the alleged racial bias there, more effort at one area while other areas, just as hard hit and devastated and some even worst because whole towns were leveled, had to fend for themselves. The focus on the “race card” in one area to the detriment of other areas is media coverage at it’s worst.
Yes racism played a part in the response. If you were white, you were discriminated against. If you were white, you don't get a mite. The Media’s second by second coverage of New Orleans, catered to an incompetent mayor and a corrupt governor, creating, perpetuating and practicing a whole new brand of racism.
