The Jefferson County Parish President whose tearful story on Meet the Press was supposed to be a hit piece on Federal response to Katrina - well, it isn't true. What a surprise!!!!!
Bloggers, including myself, have known the story was a fabrication since the nursing home was identified. It's taken MSNBC all this time to follow up. To their credit, they acknowledge that bloggers questioned the story. To their discredit, they do not apologize to their viewers for the fraud. They won't even acknowledge it was a fraud. It was a "an emotional moment and a misunderstanding." Excuse me for scoffing.
Jefferson County Parish has been the subject of 14 convictions in the last two years, all involving corrupt local politicians and police and two judges. Jefferson County Parish President Aaron Broussard is himself under supoena to testify in the sordid political scandal. NONE OF WHICH DOES MSNBC acknowledge. Even the New Orleans Times Picayne carried the stories which makes you wonder why the local NBC station doesn't have a single story about corruption convictions.
With their access to Lexis Nexis, MSNBC knows all about Mr. Broussard and Jefferson County Parish, Louisiana. They just don't want you to make the connection.
