Just once it would be nice for alll the media to do their civic duty and help calm frayed attitudes

and emotions over disaster relief. It would be nice for them to keep informing people about how difficult these relief efforts are and how the state, local, and federal governments are doing everything in their power to help people through a most difficult situation even as some of the responders suffer huge losses themselves. And more credit needs to given to the Red Cross...especially since they were so demeaned by the RW media (FOX) right after 9/11 and Katrina. The RW never saw a social safety net they didn't want to cut.
