Katrina and India - Contrasts in Reportage
It's hard to keep up with some of the really good bloggers; and
Power Line is one of the best. They have two posts up now that are worth a look.
One is titled "The AP clarifies what the AP muddied". It discusses the AP false story about Bush and the Katrina tapes; note that Power Line had debunked it almost as soon as the story broke -- but most main stream news media went ranting away without any fact-checking.
The other is " President Bush, as the Indians saw him" and is a great summary, with photos, from Indian newspapers of the President's recent visit. It seems Bush got a pretty happy reception from Indians and good reportage from their press. Quite a contrast from the US media performance as exemplified in the first post.
