From: "Mark" 

While I'm not negating the level of damage in NO, most of which was caused
by flooding via the breach of the levee, somehow I think the devastation of
the entire MS coastline that spread 30 miles inland -- is completely
unimaginable. Perhaps, because that scope of destruction is so huge, we've
not yet wrapped our minds around it. Maybe it's just so big a thing to
absorb, that the MSM can't figure out how to cover it, especially not when
they have a ready-made, compact, financially manageable, area to
concentrate on in NO.

While I won't vouch for this guys observations, as I have no idea who he
is, he does have an interesting 197 photo walk through of NO from before,
during, and after. What's interesting, is his categorization of the MSNBC
coverage via the following caption on one photo:

"I don't know her name, but she works for MSNBC. My apologies for my
wordage, but this wench didn't know what the hell was going on. She made up
75% of what she was saying and exaggerated about 95% of everything that she
did know. The message: do you want to be a reporter? All you need to do is
have a pretty face and buy a Thesaurus!"

Here's the link to the gallery, the above caption is from a pic near the
end, and there's another interesting caption regarding Brian Williams of
NBC shortly thereafter (but primarily it's interesting to see NO from the
inside in realtime, the shots that the MSM isn't willing to wade for):
