Wow, sounds like I need to watch cable TV news. Maybe then Im just naive, but I thought the shitty situation down there was due to a hurricane, broken levies, and three levels of inept government.

Anyways, maybe you kids with cable can tell me if the MSM has mentioned Doctors deciding to kill patients.

haha, isn't "serious" news an oxymoron, i mean, a myth?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KERI.
Hope that husband was good to you? Did i hear new diamond ring???

yeah, I noticed... (or, actually, so you showed me) and then I rememberd Taylor's post earlier of the video... but, well, what argument can I make? for the most part, it's not "serious" news that's commenting on it, not that "serious" news is the pulse of a populace, but still... I'm hesitant to call something publically-available knowledge until it's been bandied about everywhere.

And, admittedly, with Chris Rock, Kanye West and Oprah all bringing it up, it's definitely getting there, but , well, maybe I'm just wishing some of the 'news' stations would comment on it too... like lovely old FOX, or CNN, or Global, or CBS, or NBC, or anyone that's not of the supposedly enlightened BBC, or the comedy/lifestyle sections of the infotainment world.

(or maybe I'm wishing someone who's white (and not, say, Tim Robbins, because we all know how easily he gets discredited as a left-wing-nut) would say it... because then you make the jump from representative victim, to representative perpetrator, and the racism would be admitted a lot more clearly. Not that i'm saying this is just a blame game right now, but, well, I think you know what I mean. It's like having left wingers back up left wingers' claims of being cheated; until the right-wingers also recognize it, it isn't a fully pervasively recognized or admitted. or the church apologizing for the inquisition. to name two semi-similar examples.)

so perhaps my exaultations of the indymedia are moot at this point, but I still think they're sharing a story (plus many others) with us that few are willing to discuss...

Alison, I hate to burst your indymedia bubble, but lots of people have been mentioning Kanye West.

sigh... I love independent media, it's so sad, but so true (no one else brought this up, even though it was shared over national airwaves)

“I hate the way they portray us in the media. You see a black family and they say we are looting, you see a white family and they say they are looking for food. And, you know, it’s been five days because most of the people ARE black ... We already realize a lot of the people that could help are at war right now, fighting another way. And now they’ve given them permission to go down and shoot us. George Bush doesn’t care about black people.”

-- Kanye West, speaking to a nationally televised audience on NBC

The President's Priorities:
State of Marriage Took Precedence Over State of Louisiana
by Jason Leopold

Why is President Bush more concerned with the state of marriage than the
state of Louisiana? That's what the New Orleans City Business paper asked
in early February, a couple of weeks after Bush's State of the Union
address, in which the president called for a constitutional amendment
banning same-sex marriages, upon learning that Bush's budget proposal
recommended slashing $34 million from the New Orleans district of the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, leaving the city with a $581 million shortfall for
flood control and coastal erosion improvement projects. Despite more than
four hurricanes that have whipped through New Orleans since 2002, leaving a
trail of destruction in their wake, and personal pleas to the president by
Louisiana's local and state officials to provide much needed funding to
rebuild the state's rapidly disappearing wetlands, the Bush administration
declined, shifting its priorities -- and federal funds -- into its foreign
policy initiatives. Bush said Thursday no one expected the levees in New
Orleans to break after Hurricane Katrina. There were warnings....
