Hurricane Sandy and Selective Reportage
While 24x7 news coverage is single-mindedly focused on the ravaging impact of hurricane Sandy on the US, particularly New York and New Jersey, another equally devastating story has gone untold. How many of us are aware that substantive parts of Cuba and Haiti have been devastated by that same “super-storm”?

It would hardly be an exaggeration to say that there’s been a near total blackout of that part of the world in the news coverage by the Western media.

Re: Hurricane Sandy and Selective Reportage
we had heavy coverage when it happened and are getting it still.

was wondering why so many americans were dismissing sandy as hype when we had pretty solid coverage of the caribean destruction, which cuban elders were reporting as the worst storm they had ever lived through.
