If it was, I never saw it. I tend to ignore chain emails because they're usually wrong.
You have to admit that the Katrina coverage was way over the top because of race. It was mostly minorities that were displaced. We heard about it for a year afterwards, if not more. How many Oprah episodes were devoted to it? We just had worse flooding all over the mid-west and more white people were displaced, but they've already stopped covering it. Not one Oprah episode about it. The media is racist, as is Oprah. I liked a comment the Family Guy made about the coverage, their newscaster commented "8 months after a Katrina, a man's socks are now dry" or something to that effect.
There's an old joke. God tells the major news outlets that the world is ending. Talk radio reports that liberal immorality left God no choice, left wing radio reports that it's all Bush's fault. The mainstream media reports: "World Ending: Women and Minorities Hardest Hit" Given the level of thinking skills around here, it may take you a minute to get that last line.
