How do we let yahoo and other know that the LEVEE broke on MONDAY NIGHT?

I keep seeing the repetition of Junior's contention that the levee broke Tuesday. It did not break Tuesday--it broke Monday night. CNN reported it around 11:50 pm, but the local media (wwltv.com) had reports at least an hour earlier.

1. I *clearly* remember reading that there were three levee breaches...

It might have been false reporting, but I definitely remember it.

9. I think the 17th street canal levee was the first to fail...

Is that right?

3. The levee shouldn't be the deciding factor anyway!!!

Hulllllo! There was a HURRICANE and it caused a STORM SURGE and it BLEW DOWN BUILDINGS. There should have been relief efforts going on with or without the fucking flood waters!!

8. They "know".. they just report what they choose to report

The local media will somehow have to break through and get this into the mainstream.. Probably a losing battle.. The first news out "wins".
