Sky New Uk/CNN
What a difference in the coverage.

CNN just had Araon Brown saying the people of the convetion centre cheered when help arrived. They also showed footage again of Bush hugging people.

Meanwhile on Sky New UK, they showed a reporter showing people in the streets, who needed food and water, he sounded Pissed off because a block away there was 12 police officers going after one looter in a store, while the people who need supplies were left sitting there.

1. I noticed the same thing on the BBC News tonight
they were showing a lot of the suffering that the M$M in the US doesn't want us to see.

2. Yep
A lot of very angry people still just wandering the streets getting no help.

If I see one more shot of Bush hugging kids on CNN, Im going puke.

4. My sister emailed me earlier, she lives in England
and she is seeing a LOT WORSE than what we are, especially about the crime. She said that she had seen that people in Sri Lanka were talking about who REALLY are the uncivilized people in this world; the impression is that we are embarrasing ourselves BADLY.
