Hurricane Katrina

I chose to examine articles pertaining to Hurricane Katrina. I chose this because I expected to find some articles with a skewed perspective, and some factual. If the perspectives were skewed, it was very subtle, except for one. One article I found described Hurricane Katrina as one of the deadliest natural disasters in American history, while the other two articles I looked at described other Hurricanes that imposed more damage to American soil, such as hurricane Andrew. One article I found was on how Bush did not include Hurricane Katrina in his State of the Union Address. It explicitly states how Bush is ashamed because people died as a result of his inaction, people suffered as a result of his inaction etc etc. This particular article is very swayed in one direction. It describes how he made major mistakes. The other two aricles stay on the more factual side including the details of the Hurricane, how the poor and the aged were specifically impacted and so on. I think that upon researching any specific incident, people can find varying forms of information. The ease of publishing information on the internet is so intense, that people can be free to speak their own mind, which is exactly what I am doing now.
