And then you run across the captions on some of the pictures from the flood and realize how far we still have to go...
Why is one assumed to have
looted a store..
While
this pair of people are assumed to have just
found their food?
hrmmm...
how far we have to go for fair, unbiased reporting...
Not that it excuses it....

The long and the short of it.. the captions came from two different organizations, two different photographers... the man in the first picture actually broke into a place and took that stuff... the couple found the food floating out of a flooded store.
Still, it is rather telling.
