CNN and UPI confirm that LA state officials kept Red Cross out of New OrleansMSM outlets pick up the same story as Fox
News
For our progressive friends who automatically
doubt anything and everything that comes from "Faux" News, it seems CNN also
reported that the Red Cross was turned away by
officials from the Louisiana Department of Homeland Security. UPI also picked up the
story.
I can understand the confusion, but that is a state agency, not a Federal one. Here is the website. The same story had also been available on a FAQ from the national Red Cross website. Hurricane Katrina: Why is the Red Cross not in New Orleans? •
Acess to New Orleans is controlled by the National Guard and local authorities
and while we are in constant contact with them, we simply cannot enter New
Orleans against their orders.
•
The
state
Homeland Security
Department
had requested--and continues to request--that the American Red Cross not come
back into New Orleans following the hurricane. Our presence would keep people
from evacuating and encourage others to come into the
city.
(emphasis added)
I know it is tempting to blame the FedGovs for this one, but it was the StateGovs who prevented the Red Cross from entering New Orleans and the Superdome, Oh, and "Faux" News had the story before CNN. Maybe they aren't always "Faux."
