As the bloated bodies float through the streets of New Orleans after
the levees broke, the mainstream media is hopelessly, shamelessly mum
on the incontrovertible fact that the Bush administration has
systematically cut federal funding for hurricane protection projects in
order to pay for the war in Iraq and the Bush tax cuts.
Why? Isn’t it the duty of journalists to look at things objectively and report the truth?
Take a look at this article reprinted on the blog Attytood out of Philadelphia. Read it and weep.
After
a human tragedy like this, the first obligation of humans is to come to
the assistance of those in need. But we must not let this pass without
demanding that Congress investigate the administration’s role in
neglecting the preventive measures that might have avoided our American
Atlantis.
