NY Times reprinted without contradiction Bush's ... [Media Matters]: "In a September 2 article headlined 'Government Saw Flood Risk but Not Levee Failure,' The New York Times printed without challenge President Bush's false claim, originally made on ABC's Good Morning America, that 'I don't think anyone anticipated the breach of the levees' surrounding New Orleans as a result of Hurricane Katrina. In fact, dozens of news organizations had reported on the possibility of a breach well in advance of the hurricane, and even the Times' lead editorial in the same day's newspaper flatly stated that '[d]isaster planners were well aware that New Orleans could be flooded by the combined effects of a hurricane and broken levees.'"
