Sad state of affairs

The first article on hurricane Katrina (http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2005/8/31/235829/261) does not even attempt to depict the situation fairly. While implying negligence on the part of the administration for not being able to deliver aide from Canada, it supplies no proof of the accusation. It is irresponsible to even publish a story with so few actual facts about the situation. Sadly, this type of story will make it into public commentary and will most likely not be followed up on when/if it is found that noone is at fault. Yes, there is "mass confusion!!!" We are in the midst of a natural disaster like the country has never seen before. Noone wants this tragedy to continue if it is avoidable, especially the administration that wants to avoid political fall-out.
It is sad that the article on global warming (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-f-kennedy-jr/afor-they-that-sow-the-_b_6396.html) also took such an anti-Bush slant. I understand the frustration and concern over the continous depiction of the phenomenon as a "radical fringe issue" but the wording and tone allows critics to dismiss the author's point as equally biased. I found more mainstream coverage of the global warming issue (http://www.usatoday.com/tech/science/2005-09-01-katrina-global-warming_x.htm) also disturbing. While most valid scientific sources have published multiple studies showing that the warming has increased water temperature, thereby creating potential for increasingly larger storms, equal coverage is given to a couple of scientists claiming simply that they "don't buy it." If you'd like to see their research, good luck, it won't be out until later this year. If you'd like to see one of many, many, studies demonstrating that global warming could, in fact, be responsible, start here: http://www.gfdl.noaa.gov/~tk/glob_warm_hurr.html
The media could, and should, better inform us of the situation simply by listing the facts. There is a difference between editorial and fact but our sources seem to have forgotten it. Government actions can and will be changed only with pressure by it's citizens but our ability to form the necessary stance is hindered by lack of simple facts. We are hammered at by the right and left to the point where the average American is just too confused to do anything short of picking a "side." While USA Today atleast made it into the spectrum of acceptable journalism the subject was essentially dismissed as "inconclusive." So put down the paper and move on with your day. We may follow up on the story but really, it's unlikely once Katrina, and therefore our interest in global warming, is in the past.
This is the other media issue which needs addressing if we ever expect to hear the "truth." Complex issues will never be understood by the general public if they are only mentioned in passing while the issue is "hot."
