If ya want latent racism, check out the AP and AFP's different takes on quite similar images. White people having "found" groceries and the black guy having looted them. Mind you, the AFP has since requested that photo be removed from Yahoo!'s news slideshow. And that wasn't even FOX.
I wish I didn't have to watch Fox for news back home but unfortunately CNN International is the other choice here and they are VERY international and you just get bits and pieces now and again of the hurricane coverage.. Fox is nonstop.. I just have to go online and filter the shit they spew to find the real truth.

It's a sad situation
