CBS Attacked Bush for Not Visiting New Orleans, Attacks Trump for Visiting Texas

Here's a reminder.

The media is nothing more than the communications department of the Democrats and the left. Whatever reporting they do is only a vehicle for shamelessly injecting their narrative into every single story.

CBS, MSNBC and CNN, among others, have been pushing the line of attack that President Trump is visiting Texas too soon. And that his visit will disrupt rescue and recovery efforts. Funny enough, but that's the same reason that President Bush gave for making a flyover of the disaster zone without landing.

And the media of course completely supported and understood his reasoning.

And by that I mean, they attacked him shrilly and hysterically for landing.

CBS News Sunday Morning "contributor" Nancy Giles, in the only commentary aired on the show on Sunday, delivered a blistering diatribe in which she charged that "if the majority of the hardest hit victims of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans were white people, they would not have gone for days without food and water" and insisted that "the real war is not in Iraq, but right here in America. It's the War on Poverty, and it's a war that's been ignored and lost." She complained that "we've repeatedly given tax cuts to the wealthiest and left our most vulnerable American citizens to basically fend for themselves." Giles scolded Bush for finding photo-ops with some "black folks to hug" while he skipped "the messy parts of New Orleans." She castigated Bush for how he "has put himself at risk by visiting the troops in Iraq, but didn't venture anywhere near the Superdome or the convention center, where thousands of victims, mostly black and poor, needed to see that he gave a damn."

Here's another classic on the CBS site. "If Only Bush Had Landed In New Orleans".

If he had landed, CBS would have attacked him for disrupting rescue efforts. As it's doing with Trump.
