Things learned from watching the news.

I recieved this in an email, but felt it made some valid points. Dont crucify the messenger here.

Things I have learned from watching the news on TV during the last eight days:

The hurricane only hit black family's property

New Orleans was devastated and no other city was affected by the hurricane

Mississippi is reported to have a tree blown down

New Orleans has no white people

The hurricane blew a limb off a tree in the yard of an Alabama resident

When you are hungry after a hurricane steal a big screen TV

The hurricane did 23 billion dollars in improvements to New Orleans: now the city is welfare, looters and gang free and they are in your city.

White folks don't make good news stories

Don't give thanks to the thousands that came to help rescue you, instead bitch because the government hasn't given you a debit card yet

Only black family members got separated in the hurricane rescue efforts

Ignore warnings to evacuate and the white folks will come get you and give you money for being stupid

It does make some points about the direction of the news coverage.

Yes it does. I'll keep my comment there.

Ifferd can you explain what one has to do with the other, or what it has to do with the orignal post of this thread?

How does the stealing of a big screen tv relate to the gouging of gas prices?

How does the gas gouging relate to the thread?

Thanks

Reading this would imply the news was prejudiced against white people. Maybe not everyone noticed this, but I saw a couple of pictures where people were raiding grociery stores. The white people were searching for water, while the black guy was looting. Both were carrying bottles of water and other consumable liquids.
