Overlooked Facts of New Orleans

Here is an article about the overlooked facts of what happened in New Orleans:

In two cases, storm driven water far higher than the levees were designed to hold back (up to 15 feet of tidal surge) overwhelmed them and went pouring down on parts of the city. According to the Journal, the waves inundated the mostly working-class eastern districts, home to 160,000 people. In some places, the water rose as fast as a foot per minute, survivors told the Journal. These levees did not break.

Another huge wave came across Lake Pontchartrain in the north. It sent a steel barge ramming through the Industrial Canal, a major shipping artery that cuts north to south through the city, possibly creating a breach that grew to 500 feet, letting water pour into nearby neighborhoods of the city's Ninth Ward

Vital repairs for which a whopping $600 million had been appropriated by the federal government were stopped after residents of the Ninth Ward complained about the noise created by the repair project and sued to halt it.

Why had the media ignored those three facts? How about the fact that instead of 10,000 people dead, they have found less than 300 bodies in Louisiana?

I'm sure the media will continue to cover the Liberal griping.
