keryxLook, they won't let reporters take pictures in New Orleans.
Raise your hand if you're surprised.
Yeah, I didn't think so.
On the upside, I think the presence of media can make people - i.e. guardsfolk - who really are trying to do good act like defensive asshats. And there's been some pretty opportunistic footage of survivors taken (although a decent portion of those photos are actually coming from their rescuers, not official press) to feed our appetite for the real image of destruction.

Date: 2005-09-10 08:03 am (UTC)First amendment -- check.
Second amendment -- check.
Third amendment (quartering troops) -- ABC News video has a military spokesman who admits troops moved into a church without permission.
Fourth amendment -- definitely toast down there, with the dragging out of the people who won't leave.
And on it goes.....
