Louisiana Death Toll Complete

More or less complete, anyway. Authorities have completed the search for bodies in New Orleans, with the total known dead in all of Louisiana at 964. This compares, of course, to the claim that there were 10,000 killed in New Orleans alone, which was made by the city’s mayor and repeated endlessly in the media.
I still don’t see any sign of a meaningful self-examination by the media of its failed reporting of Hurricane Katrina.
