Where is the live coverage of the spill in the Gulf?

[madmax]

The live feed loop over and over, interviewing those who will be effected by this disaster for generations, losing their business, perhaps forced to leave the area they and their families lived for generations, the lost animal and marine life.

Media will focus on a fucking cooler, and kid with a snot nose or some other bullshit and I've not seen any in depth coverage of this monumental disaster!!!

Yes, there have been minutes of interviews and news on some various cable shows but, let's really get into the nitty gritty and show the ugly - and repeat, repeat and repeat.

1. It's down the rabbit hole. Out of sight, out of mind. nt

3. And never anything said that doesn't just skim the surface when it IS said.

5. Did you hear Babour the other night

..it's bad but no reason to panic. :mad:

[lonestarnot]

6. Too late to panic!

4. What to do?

Emails and the like don't work. Guess we just have to eat it and like it.

7. 24/7 repetitive coverage is generally reserved for high-profit scare stories, or Corporate/RW Psyops

Like 9/11, missing attractive white women, the Phony Saddam Statue Toppling or Teabaggers gatherings of a dozen people. (I'll leave you to judge which events falls into which category)

Making the Corporate Masters angry by doing 24/7 propaganda broadcasting against OTHER Corporate Masters is simply unacceptable.

And simply not permitted.

8. Remember when it was a school of sharks we would have 24/7 coverage?

13. This is why bp is constantly up

Trying to respond to bullshit with fact and logic to those who are mis-informed because they are either too busy to pay attention and the way the news has disintegrated into infotainment does not help. I don't waste my time on die hard stoopids but, some people are genuinely misguided.

The name of the game seems to be 'chase your tail'. Jobs, kids, and general life are demanding, if it's not kicking the crap out of them in a real way right now - they don't pay attention.

9. None of the oil has tried to evade the police...

...during a high speed chase yet. Nor is the oil cute and blonde. The networks have their standards, you know.

10. Good fucking point.

They wouldn't know terrorism if it sucker punched them in their junk.

11. If the media could blame the Obama administration,

then there would be round the clock coverage.

But Brownie's and Limbaugh's efforts to make people believe Obama let it happen on purpose have not succeeded.

12. This is not tinfoil hat territory

what you wrote is spot on. :applause:

[IndianaGreen]

14. The corporate media knows that such stories will swing public opinion

against more offshore drilling.

15. Not Quite Live Coverage, But...

These guys were on the case during Katrina.
