Take a look at Hurricane Issac. For nearly a week on end, the headline news was "Tropical Storm Isaac" and "Brace for Isaac"..
"Will it hit? Will it go Hurricane status? Where will it hit? Will it grow? Will it be bad?"
This storm was so heavily hyped, that everyone's eyes were glued to it. Somehow, as the media played the story for all it was worth in fear, they simultaneously assured that it wouldn't be a bad storm, category 1 at worst, weak.
The news showed people prepping, interviewing locals, fire officials, experts, etc.. Every single news source hyped the shit out of the storm. They acted as if we should fear Isaac.
BUT.. when the storm actually hit Louisiana, they showed practically NO local coverage, had ZERO reporters on site, and ALWAYS threw the LOWEST numbers in regards to sustained winds, gusts, and rainfall. Then, once the storm passed Baton Rouge, they acted as if it was no longer.
12 to 18 feet of water in Plaquemines Parish, levees overflowing, houses and businesses completely underwater and they showed NOTHING.
And NOW, whatever they ARE showing is areas with 3 feet of water. Or maybe a few quick clips of some national guard saving a fucking golden retriever with a boat.
What about the people whose homes were completely wiped out? What about the leaking oil and gas? Where is FEMA? Who is helping these people? Why the FUCK is this not top news? What is the death toll? Damage estimates??? Anything?
