CNN To Air Katrina Anniversary Specials
`Anderson Cooper 360°' Show To Air Live From New Orleans Aug. 27
By R. Thomas Umstead -- Multichannel News, 8/21/2009 12:05:07 PM
CNN during the week of Aug. 24 will air special segments focusing on rebuilding efforts in New Orleans four years after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina as part of its Anderson Cooper 360° weeknight show.
The After the Storm segments will feature reports from Cooper along with CNN correspondents Sean Callebs, Drew Griffin, Gary Tuchman and CNN's senior medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta on the latest developments in the still-rebuilding Crescent City after the decimation of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The specials will look at the state of education, heathcare and crime in the city, as well as the condition of the levees that protect New Orleans from flood waters, said the network.
In addition, on Aug. 27 Cooper will anchor Anderson Cooper 360° from New Orleans and will be joined by James Carville for a special tour of the city.

I think it's good that you're highlighting this very important issue. I recently read at some interesting information about the state of News Orleans and the Gulf Coast today at www.mediarap.blogspot.com and www.tiny.cc/4YearsAfter

Hey, thanks for the heads up but there is a Myth Problem here.
I do hope that it is You who says "in the still-rebuilding Crescent City after the decimation of Hurricane Katrina in 2005." and not CNN who would maintain this Myth --even after interviewing the safe-levee advocates who maintain the exact opposite, to wit: The US Army Corps of Engineers Flooded New Orleans by building the levees wrong in the first place --NOT KATRINA.
Here, a bit simpler: It was Not Katrina!
It was not a Natural Disaster but a Man-Made Disaster, the greatest civil engineering failure in this country's history.
OK, a even simpler:
(In honor of Jim Carville)
IT'S THE LEVEES STUPID.
