So you want hourly reports that say nothing new to report? Seriously?

No, but usually during a major disaster there’s usually extended coverage, frequently with insightful information, especially here in FR. I have not seen much of that in this case.

And that is my point. Most people seem to operate in a mob mentality. If a story isn’t stirred up by the MSM, then it doesn’t exist. Witness how they flamed and then buried the ebola crisis, for example.

And that’s the point of this thread. What constitutes a news item that’s worthy of our attention? Only what the MSN can get up in a frenzy, or as in this case, a real life, ongoing survival story?

Obviously now, the answer is the later.
