Well, last year’s terrible flooding in Nashville was virtually ignored by the MSM, and was never mentioned by Obama.

And after Katrina, I think many of us are concerned that the MSM and liberals will try to politicize natural disasters. Though since we now have a good Democrat in the White House, the MSM efforts would naturally be to minimize coverage, and/or show a heroic compassionate Obama delivering aid to the masses.

It may have been, but they aren't ignoring this time around. I just flipped through the news stations a few minutes ago, Weather Channel = flooding, CNBC = financial stuff, MSNBC = flooding, Fox News = Newt Gingrich with tickers discussing the flooding, Headline News = flooding, CNN = Bin Laden with tickers discussing the flooding. All of their websites feature it prominently, although CNBC understandably downplays it a bit, since their coverage is done through MSNBC.

They also seem to have their more prominent reporters covering it. I expect that Brian Williams, Diane Sawyer, and Harry Smith will be reporting live from flooded areas tonight.
