“What more is there to say?”
Well, when the Malaysian airliner went missing, CNN and others covered and speculated 24/7 for weeks. When the commuter ferry crashed in Staten Island, NY, the media was on top of it for days as well.
Everything else gets at least one day of intense coverage unless, of course, discovery would harm some one or some group in the politically correct class.
For example, when a train in NJ went off the rails from going at a high rate of speed, it was all news and speculation until we learned the trainman was homosexual. Then - nothing.
The list of things the media will not report is long, as is the list of things they will not let go.
I total blackout by everyone sure smacks of conspiracy. The question is: why, and who gave the order?
It is called ratings. Most Americans will have flown in their lifetimes. Most don’t travel on container ships, and don’t know anyone who does.
You are correct. CNN went wall to wall. And it was not only macabre, it was stupid.
This story is also a sub plot of a larger hurricane/rainfall story.
Until they have bodies...the networks won’t cover it.
