Morbid statistics
The media has developed a sudden and complete disinterest in quantifying the aftermath of Katrina. They were previously obsessed with guessing the death toll. Plastering Ray Nagan’s 10,000 number all over the place in the headlines. They briefly reported that initial sweeps seemed to indicate the number would not be that bad. In the last couple of days, as I’m sure much more accurate numbers are becoming available, every media outlet I regularly use has stopped mentioning the actual numbers. I’m sure there’s some official tally, which even if incomplete, is starting to be a bit more meaningful. Has anyone else noticed this? Am I using the wrong media outlets?
