Is there anything besides ebola going on in the world?

[Archae]

That's all I see, (and I do mean ALL,) on the news.

What about our war against the radicals in Syria and Iraq?
The drought in the West?
Fires?

Nope, it's "Ebola 24/7."

1. Ebola is the new Banghazi.

Don't believe me? Google swine flu, H1N1, SARs, Bird flu....

2. It's fear fear fear 24/7.

Bad food and guns are still far more likely to kill us.

grand slam!

[MineralMan]

4. It's the story of the week.

There's always a story of the week. It's whatever story makes people squirm in fear or anger. This week it's Ebola. Next week it will be something else. The other stories are still being reported, though. People just aren't noticing them so much.

5. Genocide in the Levant and central Africa

Big news in the US is the slow motion freeing ourselves of the Middle East shithole.

New golf courses in Cape Breton and central Wisconsin.

6. They are still looking for MH 370

They always seems to be obsessed with something. This one is good for fear, fear, fear.

11. The conures are nesting in Texas!! That is never on the news!

yes, I know they're a South American invasive species and make lots of Happy noise. The Texas drought isn't an issue for them!

[grahamhgreen]

13. Not for those that have it.

14. My newspaper

has the Ebola story on page A-3 where it actually belongs. There's one of those front-page notes telling me it's on A-3. The front page itself has a story about Los Alamos National Labs which has been in the news on and off since February about safety issues, a story about the end of the monsoon season easing our drought, a shooting in the city, a piece about what's going on in Hong Kong, and another about a new Associated Press-GfK poll. There are also teasers about a couple of other stories, a summation of the weather (today will be sunny and pleasant with a high of 68 and a low of 38) and a list of who died recently.

Maybe you should read a newspaper once in a while.

15. Ebola has "stay tuned for these messages" all over it. Hard for anything else to compete.

17. Washington Nationals and Baltimore Orioles both in baseball playoffs.

Folks in Baltimore/Washington Metro Area hoping for a Battle of the Beltways Series. That is all.
