I saw this on the evening news. And the media wonders why no one trusts them. There are far too many cases of the news not checking their stories before running with them. As long as their focus is on sensationalism and not on actual reporting, they will never regain the trust they've lost.

Journalists and officials who have reviewed the Katrina disaster blamed the inaccurate reporting in large measure on the breakdown of telephone service, which prevented dissemination of accurate reports to those most in need of the information. Race may have also played a factor.

I call bs on this. The blame lies with the media not checking their stories before running with them.
