Lack of reporting about Iowa

I think there is some sort of conspiracy going on in regard to the total destruction of, basically, the entire state of Iowa.
Based on past natural disasters in the South where towns were completely flooded, I have yet to see the telecast of the Governor of Iowa's press conference crying on TV and blaming GWB for not saving them.
I have not seen the coverage of all the mayors of all the towns in Iowa that are completely flooded on TV complaining about the lack of help of the federal government.
In fact, I think this coverage is racist.
All we have are newspaper stories and nightly news reports of people working together and trying to save their towns.
The media has not reported on all the looting and shootings going on in Iowa right now.
Why not?
Why did they take all those pics of people stealing in New Orleans, and show people shooting at rescue helicopters?
You would think this country would have finally gotten past all the stereotypes and racist coverage since we have a black man running for President.
But we can see, that when the chips are down, the media goes right back to their racist tendencies and makes sure to put all the whining and bitching and complaining and blaming everyone but yourselves in New Orleans, but in Iowa the media refuses to show all of that and only shows the pictures of people helping out their neighbor and understanding that it is not the role of the federal government to do everything for them.
It's like the media is making the point that people who grew up with the understanding that they were in control of their own lives and they were responsible to better their situation are much better off than all the people who grew up with their hands out, had no one at any point tell that right and wrong behavior (because right and wrong is different for everyone) and that when you are not given everything you want it is because "George Bush does not care about black people."
I'm sick and tired of all this slanted coverage.
I'm sure we will get the reports of the looting and murders and the press conference of the mayor or Iowa City telling everyone that their town will become a chocolate city once again.

Instead of posting emotional liberal racist crap...I'll post some things I see on the internet about this topic:

The difference is not in the severity of the flood, but in the people who confront the flood.


Katrina has become a metaphor for many things beyond natural disaster, including governmental and individual incompetence (depending on your point of view). In Iowa there is a 500 year flood, but the people are not paralyzed, whining, or looting. There will be no massive relief effort from around the world, and nobody will step up to help Iowans except for other Iowans. Yet years from now, there will be no Iowans still in FEMA camps.

One liberal had to try and make up stories that they are looting in Iowa city as they were in NO...I understand, to make your liberal world reality you have to lie.

www.kcrg.com/floodwatch for the real time reporting about the floods.

Game, there was one report on TV of an attempted car theft while people were checking out their home. The would be thief got confronted, but this was CR, not IC.

“Lack of Reporting” …

…happens for the same reason many stories goes unreported.

If it don’t advance “The Agenda”, it don’t get “front-page” coverage.

Game, you knocked this one out of the park.

Does Bush get the credit for the lack of looting and murder in Iowa, just like he gets the blame for looting and murder in New Orleans?

We've been letting the Democrats and their filthy accomplices in the media get away with this shit for way too long.

It never occurs to liberals that their beloved welfare state creates a specific culture of dependence, helplessness, and criminality. We've supposed to judge liberals by their intentions, not the incentives they create.
