FEMA is Federal Emergency Management Agency. 

One thing that I am disappointed in with our NEWS REPORTER agencys is 
they try to glorify and magnify the mistakes or errors and quickly pass 
over or lightly cover the good that is done.

If you watch the news interviews closely the people they interview the 
longest are the ones with the most negative to say. and they repeat them 
over and over.  The ones that are OK with things the reporters are short 
and move on to something else and never re show those interviews.

The job of the news reporter is to report both sides  fairly and not 
give a "SLANTED" view.
