Another Katrina Media Myth

CQ: "Remember the "toxic soup" that flooded New Orleans, the one that the media widely reported was so polluted that mere momentary exposure could burn the skin and create potentially mortal illness for Katrina victims?

As with the widespread gunfire, rapes, and murders, the toxic soup turns out to be another media myth. The Washington Post reports that an extensive look at the floodwaters reveals that its composition appears equivalent to floodwaters anywhere else:"

The media coverage of Katrina would be laughable if it weren't so pathetic -- another entity that can't be trusted to tell the truth.
