The best coverage of the true New Orleans situation has been overseas in Britain and Australia. The U.S. media has been willing to accept racist anarchy and mayhem, provided they don't get on the bad side of Jesse Jackson.

U.S. media willing to accept racist anarchy and mayhem? Here's a link to some footage where even FOX, the standards bearer of the conservative status quo, is saying how terrible the whole thing is:

Sorry about all the ads you gotta click through, but it's damn good footage once you get through it.

I think the main problem with the American media is that there's just so much of it. And, it's become such a over-crowded industry, the media outlets are basically desperate to find stuff to broadcast and publish so you get a lot of stuff you have to wade through that isn't even real stories. There's real news out there, but you got to know where to look for it in the US, and not just be watching a newscast designed to garner ratings rather than to inform. If you've found it in Britain and Australia, fair enough.
