They do, its called rotation.

Besides what makes a better headline?

Family dips into food stock they prepared for bad times

or

Family forced to dumpster dive to feed themselves

Indeed, the MSM won’t report that. I lived through the Auckland blackout in 1998. It was 5 weeks long. The power company told people to go live with “rellies” in the country. Well, I was a foreigner with an infant living in a 9th floor apartment. We hit a camping store to tide us over till we could make arrangements to move. I currently have a gas grill and a propane tank. Having lived through the black out, and lived in a 4th world country with spotty electricity, it’s saved to warm up beans, not cook my steaks. I also have clothes line and hangers. I know what it’s like to haul water to flush a toilet, too. The MSM will print whatever will get them attention.
