Journal AB3A's Journal: Xeni, Revisited

So, there is news that much of the disaster reporting in NOLA immediately after Katrina was a drastic exaggeration. I sent the following e-mail to Xeni. She's been reporting much of this stuff on Boing Boing --among other places. Admittely, Boing Boing isn't exactly a great news source. But I feel they ought to at least pretend to be accurate, even if they may have their own biases and agendas.

Choose your source. It doesn't matter. The end result is the same:
You reported disaster hype.

I don't care what you think you're doing. Until you post these links or
similar stories on Boing Boing, you're no Journalist.

I'm not amused. I don't like being lied to. I don't like hidden agendas. Until this woman does the bare minimum of posting this story, I see no reason to give her work any attention whatsoever.
