Mom On the Alert

Rumors and Lies

"What became clear is that the rumor of crime, as much as the reality of the public disorder, often played a powerful role in the emergency response. A team of paramedics was barred from entering Slidell, across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans, for nearly 10 hours based on a state trooper's report that a mob of armed, marauding people had commandeered boats. It turned out to be two men escaping from their flooded streets, said Farol Champlin, a paramedic with the Acadian Ambulance Company."

The public was told a pack of lies. Nevertheless, our biased media spread the unsubstanuated rumors which influenced decisons by our incompetent leaders.

Most people stiill believe the lies. Where is the intense media coverage of this discovery?

The press is neither left or liberal.
