How the Media demonized G. W. Bush.

Reporting the facts is too important of a job to be left to Reporters and other Liberals. The book of R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr. describes how the Liberal Media demonized "W" with lies.

"Hurricane Katrina became the first hurricane ever to be attributed to a sitting president, namely George W. Bush ... Up there in the Kultursmog the media were very indignant: Ten thousand people perished, possibly 10 million. CNN reported small-arms fire aimed at rescue helicopters. CNN's Miss Paul Zahn mentioned 'bands of rapists going block to block.' On the authoritative 'Oprah Winfrey Show,' New Orleans Police Chief Eddie Compass reported that in the Superdome 'little babies are getting raped' ... Sen. Mary Landrieu notified a national television audience that 'we have gotten reports, but unconfirmed, of some of our deputies and sheriffs that have been either injured or killed' and she expressed her strong and inextinguishable yearning to 'punch' the president. On 'Larry King Live,' Mr. Dan Rather summed up the media's historic moment: '[The media] took us there to the hurricane. They put the facts in front of us, and very important, they sucked up their guts and talked truth to power.' Alas, by the end of September all of the reports [cited] were found to be false."

It became an iconic phrase among Liberals that Bush bungled the hurricane. In the kultursmog, mentally challenged Liberals in the Media forgot to point out that the primary responsibility for preparing New Orleans for the Hurricane fell to Mayor Nagin and the Governor of Louisiana, both Democrats. But, the citizens of Louisiana remembered and elected a Republican for Governor. So, when another hurricane hit New Orleans, people were evacuated, the levees held and Media lies were kept at a minimum. The Media were disappointed.
