Again with the media

Hugh Hewitt cites NYU journalism professor Jay Rosen:

Jay's reaction --that the media couldn't have contributed to the decision of many people to try and ride out the storm-- doesn't match with common sense. Don't expect the anti-Bush MSM to ask any hard questions of themselves, but I'd love to see if some relative of the dead has a chance to confront Anderson Cooper or the legion of posers with microphones on their contribution to the wreckage all around.

I agree. The media has unparalleled influence on peoples' decisions. They just simply weren't doing their job this time around.
