The very same media that seems to jump on every opportunity to slam SUVs was publishing/broadcasting urgent pleas to SUV owners to help the local emergency workers.
There was an article in the NY Times today about that. You need a (free) login to get at it but here is the
pointer. The title is
What Would Jesus Drive in a Snowstorm? Well, Maybe an S.U.V.
Although the writer IMHO moralizes in the second paragraph about "gas-sucking Blazers and road-hogging Troopers" and talking about a Land Cruiser owner "feeling guilty" about getting 17mpg, on the whole it talks about that very thing - people slamming SUVs one week then lauding them the next

It also talks about some of the people who took out time to ferry medical personnel and patients around.
