Subject: NPR Censors Katrina Report?


Dave,

For IP if appropriate.

A week or so ago, IP forwarded a personal memoir by two paramedics who were lied to and treated horribly by New Orleans police and ultimately were denied egress from the city at the point of a gun.

While driving home yesterday, I chanced upon an interview with several Katrina survivors on our local NPR station during their regular Sunday afternoon feature. The second person interviewed was one of these paramedics, and just as she was getting into the really awful events she experienced, NPR cut the feed for that story, and replaced it with one from several months ago regarding poverty in Latin America. After about ten minutes of this new "replacement", I turned of my radio.

An email inquiry to my local NPR station has so far gone unanswered.
