On tonight's
Sinclair News, shown on my local Fox affiliate, I heard a new talking point shifting blame towards local authorities.
The lead segment focused on how Dems are blaming Bush and FEMA. The "reporter" pointed out that state rules call for school busses to be used in evacuations for those with no other transportation. But the buses went unused and got flooded. This is the first I've heard of this.
Next they said that the mayor was overwhelmed and lashed out at the federal government in an angry radio interview. Then they interviewed a Democratic strategist to really reinforce how we're all using this tragedy to bash Bush. The story didn't have one f'ing word though, to try to actually prove the competence of the federal response to Katrina.
