It hit the home turf of much of the national media and so it agitated their gut emotions in a way that tornadoes in Joplin, Missouri and Ringgold, Georgia can't.

BINGO! Forget that hundreds of people died in the tornados this spring. They didn't touch the hallowed Northeast, so they didn't count.

If I owned a news outfit like Fox, the first thing I'd do (after firing Shep Smith) would be to move headquarters the heck out of New York City. I'd leave a bureau in Washington because the government is based there, but I'd have bureaus spread all over--Houston, Chicago, Denver, Albuquerque. But until an owner has the nerve to do something like that, U.S. news outlets will continue to think that an event descreases in importance the farther from New York it occurs.

You just described CNN in the '80s.

Remember too that Murdock considers NYC his base...FNC, FBC, WSJ, NY Post.
