Miners Still Trapped
The lamestream media told you:
Six miners remain trapped in a coal mine in Utah. Here with continuing coverage is our man on the scene.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Although “news” editors everywhere presumed viewers were entranced by the incessant non-news of people milling around 1,900 feet away from where the unfortunate miners were trapped, actual viewers were revolted and bored by the endless day-after-day coverage of nothing new to report. All Americans were saddened by the loss, when the collapse occurred.
An unscientific survey that Page Nine readers are encouraged to conduct involves asking the next six people you meet if they remained glued to their TV sets to follow the coal mine cave in, or if they have a life. Several studies already conducted indicated most people have a life, and the primary viewers of the Utah non-events were in TV-station control rooms.
At least, the coal mine edged the news-media helicopter crash off the air, though Nancy Grace did bring back live coverage of Anna Nicole Smith, who is dead.
Meanwhile, while the six victims were getting countless hours of prime TV and newspaper space, tons of real news was disregarded, hundreds of people dying from serious threats you face daily was omitted, and the truth about political candidates was avoided.
Where editors get their values from, or how they make their coverage decisions remains a mystery.
