The Real Heroes of the Chile Mine according to the Media

Is the media. They can't stop patting themselves on the back.

1. I would say the miners themselves are the ones to be congratulated

along with the drillers and the Chilean President. Not the media

[itsrobert]

2. No, without the media

Nothing happens. :sarcasm:

5. Thats exactly what they want us to think

but us being who we are we know better.

[monmouth]

3. CNN is going to do a repeat, I believe today, on the rescue...n/t

4. What, they're not still praising the imaginary, bearded Sky-Daddy? n/t

[lunatica]

6. I'm profoundly glad the rescue happened

This is just fallout and predictable. There were a hundred things and thousands of people that contributed, not the least of those things being the luck that the tunnel they drilled held up for all the rescues. Every step of the way was seriously iffy and just one not working out could have caused a different outcome.
