no news is news

April 13, 2007

Buddies,

I jus seen on CNN some BREAKING NEWS. Theres a tornado warning in Dallas, Texas.

I got a few werds fer News organizations aroun th werld:

Th weathr is NEVR national news. NEVR!

Th aftrmath of a weathr-event might be national news, but only if theres a sfficiently high body-count; & evn then, it aint more than a ONE-DAY story.

I imagine some o your fokes might be thinking bout Hurricane Katrina bein a obvious exseption to these rules.

Kay. Maybe Ill grant ya that. But crtainly a whole years werf o reportin on that shoud sffice.

CNNs breakin news — I repeat — was simply that there is a TORNADO WARNING in Dallas, TX. Dyou sppose some local Dallas news station was NOT reportin that to the fokes who need t be concernd ?
