Yes I am for real.
Let's recall for a moment a young black reporter Jayson Blair who wrote articles for the NYTimes about things that happend a few thousand miles from where he was writing them in his apartment and did it for months and months.
I don't see ANYTHING in that picture that denotes it being in NOLA, French Quarters, being CLOSED or being LOOTED. In fact the roadway and sidewalk look quite dry and they people don't seem to have wet clothing.
Critical thinking doesn't stop it stays critical.
