The pictures probably aren't as good
Dozens of people are dead in Kentucky because of a severe ice storm that has left people without power and cut off from the outside world. FEMA has been slow to respond and the president hasn't rushed to the area to survey the damage.
The media isn't interested in applying the Katrina standard to the new president.
Welcome to the new politics.

Should, but doesn't, because even among the purportedly unbiased journalistic blue-check class, they are partisan hacks with bylines.
@PolitiFactBias The fact that the alleged manifesto doesn't mention Carlson/Fox/other right-wing media once, but the author talks about min wage/labor/worker rights should at least give some pause to the people broadly claiming Carlson inspired this shooting.
What kind of #consistency can we expect from the fact-checking professionals at PolitiFact?
The inconsistent kind (how it started, how it's going):
New column: Newsom's electric cars nirvana collides with reality- CalMatters https://calmatters.org/commentary/2022/05/electric-cars-california-newsom/
This is clever framing to preserve the narrative without actually touching what’s at stake.
Here’s what the poll actually says:
📊 37% say abortion should be “always legal” (preserving Roe)
📊 60% say there should be limits on abortion (which would overturn Roe) https://twitter.com/meetthepress/status/1525821101749714944
BUT abortion is now center stage:
60% say abortion should be legal all or most of the time — the highest ever in our polls — versus 37% who say it should illegal all or most of the time.
And abortion has now become the TOP issue for single-issue voters.
(4/4)
If Bush was still in office, the MSM would be all over this story, just as they were all over Katrina. But, Saint Obama is in power, so they will not cover it.
