Bush weathers the storm

Telegraph | News | Bush weathers the storm:

"Even as 100,000 people gathered in Washington, the nation's attention was focused on the fearful damage Rita might inflict on Mr Bush's home state of Texas.

The influential news channels knew where the action was. They kept their cameras focused on Rita and on the president as he flew into Colorado, home of the military response to the storm.

The newspapers also played down the demonstration to give page after page to the hurricane."
