patgundThe big disconnect on New Orleans - Sep 2, 2005 (CNN News)
"Diverging views of a crumbling New Orleans emerged Thursday, with statements by some federal officials in contradiction with grittier, more desperate views from the streets. By late Friday response to those stranded in the city was more visible.
But the conflicting views on Thursday came within hours, sometimes minutes of each of each other, as reflected in CNN's transcripts."
Amazing. I was watching BBC World Report and CNN International, and the reporters for both were openly shocked and incredulous over what the federal officals were saying vs. what the reporters were actually seeing.
