Don't know what the media has allowed you to see, but there's rampant looting that's been going on in the dark (no electricity) parts of NYC. Outer boroughs have no gasoline, no food, no electricity. Staten Island, one of the 5 NYC boroughs, is a disaster area... they are still counting the bodies. the mood is on a razor's edge. Not much in the way of relief is in sight.
Parts of NJ have folks still in their waterlogged homes 4 days running - no food, no fuel ... More will die soon.
The presents the media with a dilemma. The powers that be, their faves, have declared that everything is going smoothly. To show the opposite would undermine their "take charge" position ... and the election is this Tuesday.
My guess is that they'll try to keep the lid on things until Wednesday, a tall task given the 24/7 cycle and the internet, twitter, etc.
They are going to run the NYC Marathon tomorrow, FFS!! All to keep up the illusion that things are normal.
