Fair and Balanced

I've been listening to and reading reports about the relief efforts on the Subcontinent, and stumbled across this headline today: Islamist Cleric Slams Slow Pakistan Quake Relief.

It makes me want to shout, "SEE??? It takes a while, doesn't it???"

But really, my main question is: Why has no one in the press compared New Orleans to Pakistan and come to the conclusion that relief just takes time after a disaster?

Because the American media doesn't care about slamming Pakistan. All they care about is slamming the Bush Administration.

because the media is never fair and balanced. they only do sensational. and the fact that relief efforts do take a while doesn't fit into that category.
