That NY Times article is craptacular

This is the one I'm referring to: David Carr More Horrible Than Truth: News Reports.

Not only is most of it not true, it's insulting to every victim of this tragedy. Maybe more rape victims haven't come forward because they were either murdered, or don't want their names plastered all over the news like Charmaine Neville. The 7-year-old that was raped? Found. Other victims of crimes in the Superdome? Found here and here. It seems that Mr. Carr is projecting. He appears to be guilty of the exact thing he is accusing others of...printing stories without the facts.

Who confirmed the sniper shooting at rescue helicopters? The victims? Are these the same victims who told stories about rapes and murders...stories we aren't to believe because they ARE NOT confirmed? WTH? And, how did I know that the congressman who hitched a ride was a Democrat? However, there is no mention of the photo ops or many "PR" visits by Bush and others that halted relief efforts at the most critical time for evacuees. What am I talking about? No one else could fly in NOLA airspace while the President was there - for security reasons. So, every time he or anyone in his merry band of idiots went to visit, they halted rescue operations that had already taken FOUR days to start.

But, let's not mention that. By all means, let's continue to cover our eyes and pretend none of it ever happened. Yeah, that'll make it go away.

The NYT should print a retraction. David Carr should be fired. Maybe he can go work with Mike Brown.

You know you can't disguise. You're just telling lies.
