While working on such front-page news as Obama complaining that his kids missed a day of school in Washington, D.C., because of a few inches of snow, the Obama Media missed out on reporting the first major crisis of the new administration.

And it's not the pattern of tax cheats Obama picked for his cabinet.

A natural disaster struck parts of the United States last week, leaving 55 dead and hundreds of thousands without power. The federal government's response was anemic. More could have been done to help the victims.

If you're wondering why the latest failing by FEMA was not reported by the mainstream media (know known as the Obama Media), you're not alone.

From Investor's Business Daily: "Katrina crashes into New Orleans, FEMA responds feebly and President Bush is blamed for the loss of life and limb. Winter smacks middle America, killing 55, FEMA's late again, but President Obama gets a pass."

The newspapers say it's no surprise that Obama's failings are being covered up by the mainstream media. After all, Obama could not have been elected president without the full cooperation and direct intervention of the liberal media.

But this is more than just another beef about liberal media bias. It's about life and death. It's about holding elected officials accountable.

From Investor's Business Daily, which finds remarkable similarities in the federal government's response to Katrina and the ice storms that hit several states last week:

Obama, whose administration on taking office vilified Bush on Katrina, has done no more for the victims of the winter storm. Yet no tirade has been forthcoming from either the media or the loopy orbit of Celebrity Planet.

The double standard is what we've come to expect, but it's not what we should continue to accept.
