Slublog: Kudos to MSNBC

September 20, 2005

Kudos to MSNBC

The news channel is correcting the record regarding Aaron Broussard, president of Jefferson Parish in New Orleans, and his story about a friend's mother drowning.

This story illustrates one of my major complaints with the media - it tends to give emotional people too much credit. Broussard cynically used the death of his friend's mother to criticize the federal government, and the media eagerly believed his story because he was crying, and crying people make for good television.

I love the way you write and also the theme on your blog. Did you code this yourself or was it done by a professional? I'm very very impressed.
