This was just someone who sees all of the other manipulation of news in this nation and thought that he could do it as well, but he was caught at it. FEMA did a poor job after Katrina, is still doing a bad job after Katrina, and someone hoped to make it look like someone somewhere was satisfied with their response to that it takes time to start reporting on the poor response that will probably follow there in Los Angeles.

That was a faked up press conference and there were no real reporters there. They were just being stupid and the participants have gotten reamed for it too. FEMA doesn't need to hide the fact they're not the brightest crayon in the box these days. They demonstrate stupid things often. ::smile::

aren't you sick already of Every reporter every day delivering their story like it the next Pulitzer. Every story is breaking news when the majority of them are every day life. They lived in a fire zone an where warned daily to create fire breaks and remove all debris so many feet around a structure I guess they did what they could

Clearly this was arson caused by wealthy people who want to get money from their insurance before their home prices fall to 20 cents on the dollar.
FEMA is all too willing to use our taxes to fund this crime.
