I was reading the Financial Times this morning and saw another slam at the "tardy" response of America to the tsunami disaster in South Asia. Ned Martell, their TV critic, lives up to his title by critiqueing the American news organizations coverage of the disaster. He ties it in ot the slow response of the United States in responding to the needs. While American news personnel can be a bit tedious in their coverage it is hitting below the belt to keep carping at our aid response.
