Never Let the Truth...

T

TampaRadioFan

Under the heading of "Never Let the Truth Get in the way of a Good Story", I have heard enough about New Orleans, Hurrican Katrina, and the Superdome. I am tired of local and national talk radio shows talking about "the many murders, deaths, and rapes in the Superdome". Here is a link to an article that appears to be based on facts.

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2002520986_katmyth26.html

As least it appears to be much more factual and responsible than most of the radio talk show hosts I have heard. This includes some local talk radio hosts such as Heather of the Sport Chix. No, I do not go to the Sport Chix for hard news and facts - but she gets the audience all wound up with her version of the truth - Minus the facts of course. I know she is not alone, but only the last one I heard today. Can't wait for ESPN's coverage tonight. It will be interesting to hear what they have to say.

If you all have facts or information to the contrary, please pass them on. It was difficult to find hard facts and statistics on the web. Most of what I found was from personal blogs which seemed to be very much opinion based.

Thanks for reading my rant!
 
I appreciate your thoughtfull and well worded comment. So would you be so kind as to suggest which radio program I should tune in from 3-6pm?
 
The Monday night football game was quite an event and cast a positive light on the whole situation in New Orleans..that was up until Spike Lee
had to beat a very dead horse by saying "How in America can it take 5 days to get these people some help". All the positives involved in that night and Spike has to play politics.
 
Frank..I'm not picking on you, but you brought this up.

I can't say I will name a child after Spike, but I have asked that question since the sixth day of the "rescue efforts"...and I ask the question now..as I asked on the national TV board.....

Why is much of the "poor" side of town still in ruins to this day,,,,yet 150 million was ponied up to rebuild a stadium?

I'm not expecting an answer here..too much racism, incompetence, greed and corruption.

But it would have been nice to see at least some of those ward residents back in at least FEMA housing.....while the rich sports fans who could afford tickets to see the millionaire ball players play a game enjoyed themselves.
