BBC Is Brilliant

Our Local news here , has just had a report from a BBC reporter in New Orleans.

A reporter is ripping into what is happening he is on the ground in New Orleans and he is getting angry.

He started off the report saying president Bush said all of the dead will be treated with dignity and be picked up, then the reporter showed a dead body on the road, and said "BUT WHAT ABOUT THIS GUY"

He then interviewed some Troops while pointing to some dead bodies, and asked them why they hadn't recovered the bodies, they said, We cant touch them because we have had no orders, the reporter replied, they have been here for six days!

They then showed all the toxic spills and sewerage and dead bodies in the water, the reporter was basically making the point, that what we are getting told about the rescue efforts is different from what is actually happening.

He ended by saying, if 9/11 bought America together, the Hurricane Katrina has changed the way America looks at itself.
