How many of us are aware that substantive parts of Cuba and Haiti have been devastated by that same “super-storm”? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26763494 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. [link to blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.com] well cover it in India. This is the US - we're covering a huge story that has happened in OUR country. Okay?? |
