If a tank overflows, and the guy in the control room was on his break and didn't see the alarm, does he have to clean up the spill?

Or perhaps another one. If a million people are killed in the Sudan, but the journalists are covering the story from Nairobi, is anyone really dead?

Jeepers, marron - your first example made me laugh and your second made me weep. That's a first for me. Thank you for your excellent post!

Unfortunately marron, the answer to this querry is obviously no, for if the MSM doesn't cover it, it simply does not exist...
