Oh and by the way there are very open public calls for food and other donations being made, I've linked stories on my FB and have personal ties to the area.
Food, fuel, blankets and medical supplies are being sought out. Why is it that we see the same thing over and over again? Under reporting of what should be major national stories time after time, while inconsequential nonsense and social/interest pieces end up with top billing? Could it be the financial concerns in mass media? That something like 6 companies own north of 80 or 90% of all the media outlets?
