We need more Andrew Meyers and Greg Palasts. Wake up, America!

I'm sickened too. But you don't need to use quotes any more. There've been a bunch of conspiracies from this white house and their associated corporate supporters, and the dems are unfortunately part of it too. The very act of hushing it up is a conspiracy, let alone what the administration what crimes they are hushing up and acts of obstruction of justice their committing.

I do read books, just not Ann Coulter's like you.

the people who were here working in the heat,stench and debris were from all walks of life.real humanitarins who came to help people in distress, not to exploit actual events by putting their own spin on them.i'm in a position to know what i'm talking about.how in the hell would you know anything about it. i don't like bs, if you believe everything he says you're as full of it as him.i know the truth.who did he help with his half truths? grow up,read a book,get some real knowledge.

i'll put this in into words even a 6 yr old can understand.any 5 yr old knows how to rip up carpet and pick up molded and mildewed carpet coated with mud. as well as carry ruined clothing & furniture to curb. he would have you believe the ms.river flooded N.O.,lake pontchartrain and the gulf of mexico did.that's just one spin of his.look at other katrina videos see for yourself.a real reporter reports true facts.your idol is a bs muckraker.i stand behind all i've said.you know nothing about us.

I don't think you know what a journalist is.

He is there to report the facts, not to nail bits of wood together.

And you're right about me not being there. Why? Because I live on the other side of the fucking planet. Bit hard for me to get there.

You really don't know what you're talking about.

[wilmaohman]

what i know is for the last 35 yrs i have lived less than 10 miles than aqny spot he was in new orleans. i can see from your answers that you weren't among the hundreds of churches,college students giving up their spring breaks,out of state police and firemen,plus numerous other persons using their own time and money to work in 90-100 degree heat to help clean out mold and mildew furniture and sheetrock that had sit in waterfor weeks. i dont give a damn who you believe. he's a spin doctor.

[iainshields]

So knowing the facts isn't as important as being in the place they're talking about?

As for your complaints that he isn't doing manual labour he's a journalist, not a builder. The idea that you would bring that up as an argument shows you don't know what the hell you're talking about. The fact that he is reporting this and stirring the pot is what helps the world, as not knowing what is going on gives the people perpetrating these events no-one to answer to.

adoracle1: because i witnessed 1st hand what was happening in N.O. i stand by what i say. fema paid rents and gave food stamps,furnished free trailers, among other things in N. O. . they're still doing it today. there are homeless in any city.you can investigate for yourself if you are interested. i stand by what i said. there were thousands of teenagers donating their time,as well as numerous churches, and others donating time and money.how did palast help?

[adoracle1]

stirring what up? Its already ALL stirred up...in America, we don't like letting criminals kill, maim &deprive our rights, then WALK away fat and happy...Palast is an investigative reporter. He is doing his job. I got his documentary for free, so he didn't make $ off me and thousands of others like me. What he did for NO was let everyone know what's happening. so what were the lies? what is the truth. Bush KNEW. years later, people r still gone &homeless.but as long as u r ok, nothing happened?

[masteralex2008]

that host is so fukin annoying

[wilmaohman]

he came to new orleans MONTHS after katrina check out 1,2,& 3 "interviews" the majority of eveythinghe said on same were outright lies or his own spin on half truths. did anyone in new orleans see him at the superdome or convention center? has anyone seen him help gut a house.has anyone seen him doing anything manualy or monetarily to help anyone anywhere? has he been to iraq? how much money does he make stirring it up? he carries a big paddle, how much $ off spinning tales in book?.
