I watched Fox News Watch, the Fox News media critique show, over the weekend. Jim Pinkerton made a comment about something I noticed and I was glad. One of the most unreported sides to the Katrina hurricane disaster is that of the various organizations in Texas, Arkansas, and many other states who have given so much to help the New Orleans evacuees. CNN filed suit to have permission to film dead bodies in New Orleans, but they have yet to focus on all of the charity work taking place outside of Louisiana.
In a quick example of things I have personally seen, my church has taken in four families. One family consists of a single mother and her three children. The mother already has gotten a job and an apartment provided directly by the church. The church also owns some land with older homes on the land that are used for various church activities. Those homes have been converted back to residences as the other sponsored families moved in this week. With all of the race-baiting and political warring taking place, I find it horrible the national media is ignoring the positive sides to this story. Yes, there were some major governmental screw ups. Images of looting and destruction were transmitted all over the globe. I would also like the world to see the humanity demonstrated by the volunteers who are too busy to get in front of the camera and complain.
