oooh, yes! 10 whole seconds out of 2 hours of watching msnbc. man, you got slammed with those reports of dozens of deaths, didn't ya? non-stop coverage. at it's finest. so much more important than the adorable animals sneezing story on the huffpo main page.

Ok, I know there is a lot going on right now - but why are we not talking about this more? And what caused this?

The media only covers what Corporate America wants them to cover. Journalism is gone in America. It is a shame that a foreign country can get more help than our own people.

Major flooding and damage all over Tennessee and they cover the Opryland Hotel????
