Just the Facts, Ma'am by John Leo

Turns out that much of what was reported in New Orleans after the Hurricane was rumor and exaggeration. Is this a postmodern subjectivizing of news - trying to communicate the feeling more than the content?

"Personally, I don’t need reporters to supply righteous indignation. I can handle that on my own. What I need is reporters who separate rumor from fact and just tell me what they know for sure actually happened."
