Wow. C-span finally has programming on the tsunami.
I am stunned.
I have been checking them periodically over the last 24 hours, and haven't seen anything.
In fact, it sucks no one has covered this consistently until this a.m.. Why don't we have a single news outlet to cover major catastrophic events like this...does anyone know of a good non-geological site that is covering this with reports out of the affected countries?
When they scan the audience there are like five people there.
One American tourist interviewed said it was just like 9/11 (they moved to Hong-Kong from New York post 9/11) when everyone was walking around asking if anyone had seen their loved ones. This is now 7 times the casualties of 9/11 yet very little consistent coverage on tv.
It's shameful. I especially expected C-span to break away from their hatemongering repuke think-tank conferences to cover this alot sooner than they have now.
I remember watching C-span non-stop when JFK jr. disappeared.
but I could very well be wrong about this...thus I expected them to be covering this much sooner, what the f**k does it take for them to break away from a booksigning, a nuclear war?
They dont have a hell of a lot of media outlets out there and some areas are in such distress they cant get communications back. The death toll will continue to rise.
What amazes me is that 16K+ people are dead already and so many people dont even seem to care.
