"Babies being raped" - never heard that one, heard horror stories for sure, and some were true.

"10,000+ dead" - who said that? the Mayor of New Orleans. As far as I know, Ray Nagin is not "the media".

"FEMA fucked up..." Yep. They sure did. I'd stand behind any media that reported that.

As far as everything being "totally false", that's simply not true.
