The Katrina coverage doesn't tell the whole story. Here is an excerpt from a story you can read in its entirety by clicking on the title:
Back at his mother's hospital room, Lodoen saw television reporters interviewing victims who appeared angry and indignant. "I thought, 'Where are they coming up with these people? I'm not seeing them.'" He was also shocked at the shrill finger-pointing on the news. "All around us, politicians are focused on the blame game. Yet the victims themselves are blaming no one. I didn't hear one complaint. In fact, I was overwhelmed by the love, faith, determination and compassion that everyone shared."
What could be the reason that the mainstream media in general wants us to hear only about the angry, dissatisfied people?
