Tim the Fat Fuck Russert is on Imus justifying his disgraceful timeline quibble interview with Aaron Broussard. Tim says, I had a right to question him about the death of Mr. Rodrigues' mother, because Broussard was trying to shift responsibility to the federal government. And once again he says -- without challenge from Imus or anyone on Imus, because they're just empty talking heads and don't even know the basic facts -- that the responsibility for evacuating New Orleans and the rest of Louisiana was the local and state governments, theirs alone, and he even says, on August 28th, 29, 30th, 31st, Sept.1st, the local and state and governments were responsible. And this statement goes unchallenged.
And there is no one there to say, but Mr. Fucktard, Mr. Pumpkin Head, Little Russ, the President of the United States signed a document on August 26th designating this a State of Emergency, making the entire control of every aspect of the response to this storm THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. Because not one of these preening arrogant cavernously empty heads knows the basic facts.
Journalism is dead. Long live the corporate infotainment media.
