A couple of stories are surfacing about the difficulty of getting aid from the Red Cross in the wake of Katrina. Friday afternoon, WWL-TV reported th...

...from a friend who's re-entered New Orleans. This is eyewitness reportage, unlike so much of what he heard and read for the past month: We're livin...

Any doubt that there are rhythms, if not fashions, to news coverage might be obliterated today by a look at what some major media are doing about New Orleans.

It's been all over the Internet, and then all over cable news -- the story of the two San Francisco paramedics and the crowd of evacuees that followed...

We're living in the bubble again. CNN's little experiment with opening up one daily hour of its day to the very different coverage of its international channel, titled "Your World Today," seems to have been yet another victim of Hurricane Katrina.

Today's Washington Post takes you all the way to the end of the story, about schools in suburban Jefferson Parish opening with only half the number of...

This morning's Presidential news conference was summarized on NPR by, among others, Senior Washington Editor Ron Elving, who observed that, though the...

My final thought, about the liberal trope of the press being supine now having been rendered obsolete, should not be mistaken for a belief that the American media finally has grown serious balls.

In his press conference announcing the nomination of Harriet Miers, Bush broke through the twitch barrier -- and here's the video evidence.

Joe Scarborough says only 10% of FEMA contracts were with local companies in the Katrina-affected area. Yet Louisiana Governor Blanco puts the number at 44%. Can they both be right?

She'll go to jail to protect a source, but she'll do what newspapers and television networks have long refused to do -- turn over notes (or outtakes). Can we rescind Judy's First Amendment Award yet?

Finally, five weeks along, some reporting from New Orleans that captures what New Orleanians might recognize as pieces of reality about the disaster a...

There is one reason Bush's staged videoconference is making the evening news now, and that reason is called Under Forty Percent.

Engineers have found that the soil around the bases of New Orleans floodwalls was "remarkably...low" in strength.

I've plowed through the NYTimes non-apologia and Judy Miller's account, and two things stand out: one, that, as the Las Vegas Review Journal points ou...

In answer to the many commenters who objected to the original thrust of the "Huh?" post, I only point out the lead sentence of the paragraph: Before...

The media and blogosphere have been full of comments like this one about the statement in Judith Miller's Sunday NYT first-person narrative that she h...

An earlier post here ("The Little Window Closes") lamented CNN's apparent decision, with no public announcement, to stop simulcasting an hour of its i...

The Senate Intelligence Committee promised last year to release phase two of its report on Iraq intel sometime after the November election. As best as can be determined, the election has passed.

FEMA is slow-footing on bringing in temporary housing so that people who want to come back and work have a place to live...
