The news always shows the "Scariest" part of any story, After all you got to fit it into a so many second segment and thus you go for the sensational. Though you faired well, Large portions of the city did not do so well. (you admitted that in fact in your post) I do not think there were too many lies on the part of the media (Of course I did not watch FAUX news) as I have my own sources within any disaster area. But I do agree that exagaration is the way of the media today. As for the lies... Well, yes, there were lies too, just not FROM the media. (Mostly from the White House)
