I talked to my Mom last night. She's in Maine and pretty much will only watch NBC Nightly News. I asked her if she heard of this. Nope! She had no idea. Anyone have any speculation as to why this is practically not talked about by the media? I find it bizarre and a bit scary as I'm about 10 hours downwind to this thing. It also might be my imagination but I've practically had no birds at my feeders for the past two days. WTH!

It was on with Lester Holt for a few consecutive days at least.

Why would capitalism advertise its own failings?

This accident happened because of a large company cutting back safety measures to save a buck. Combined with the state using its power to crush union workers who wanted more safety measures in place....

So it's capitalism and corrupt government working together that created a disaster.... and you expect them to use their "news" channels to advertise this???

Officially, bad things only happen under other systems. Under capitalism everything is an "oopsy" and not that big of a deal.

It's either the Ohio train derailment or the Chinese spy balloons and whatever the fuck other flying objects they've been shooting down like it's IRL Duck Hunt.

I don't think I need to explain which news story takes priority and I don't think I need to explain why it takes priority.
