hysteria

Once again, the folks at National Review have been handed their talking points.

They, in particular Jonah Goldberg, are pushing the Brownie defense of a "hysterical media"as the culprit in the days after Katrina.

Now, it must be said the cable news networks can go overboard (Miles O'Brien and his search for a displaced dog). However, I don't think american bodies floating beside freeways packed with refugees can be attributed to the "hysterical" media.

Goldberg's view is directly related to the reports of the exaggeration of deaths in the Superdome following the storm. We'll give him that, but to use Brownie's talking points speaks volumes about how desperate the conservative base is to resurrect Bush.
