The Mardi Gras Bauer update

Before the Bauer, there was bitching. Here is something that just pisses me off.

I hate how the news and commercials for the news say this is "the first Mardi Gras since Katrina" hit New Orleans. Well, DUH! There obviously hasn't been a Mardi Gras since October. I'm not sure how else they could word the thought they are trying to convey, but they don't have to say it in such a condescending, worthless way. They have absolutely no respect for their viewing audiences at all. Newsflash: A very small percentage might actually have intelligence that they enjoy using. Hm. What a concept.

It also pisses me off that it takes something such as Mardi Gras for any kind of follow up in New Orleans. The news outlets were OBSESSED with the city when it was under water. They completely exploited the victims and once the flood waters receeded, were gone with the wind. What the hell? After being on the air - some cable news for 24 hours a day - with Katrina this and Katrina that, New Orleans this and Louisiana that, the victims here and the victims there, why has it taken them four months to follow up? So not only did they exploit the residents who lost their entire existences, they exploited the city, which is obviously only good for one thing: the Mardi Gras party. It's a good thing that the city has the resilience and is capable of holding the celebrations. It is not, however, appropriate for the news media to go all gung-ho over New Orleans again. Quite frankly, I think they should shove the story up their fake assholes and leave those people alone, let them recover in peace damnit.
