The "MSM" ( I'd just call it "the media") seems to be covering this pretty thoroughly. Much more after-the-storm footage, and airtime, than other hurricanes.
Thanks for taking the media role seriously, as I do. If you tune into 99.9, Asheville radio (link below) you’ll be able to hear what’s going on, on the ground, as it happens. It’s a country station that converted into 24/7 continuing coverage.
I stand by my remarks on the national news coverage —and if you talk to their ground-level reporters and editors, they’ll say the same. This is an open “secret” the major media fail. There’s a lot of urgent stories to be covered right now, and I hope this changes headline priorities.
Are you still finding this to be true? CBS, ABC, NBC all seem to have had NC on 'the front page' on their youtube videos of, like, 'evening news for october 2'. It does seem asheville focused. Only place I see some of the more remote areas has been videos by helicopter pilots!
So is the Raleigh News and Observer, or WRAL news, not considered "MSM"? I've only ever heard the term from my conservative/conspiracy-theory friends, didn't know it was in use on the left as well.
Also, I use MSM to differentiate from regional, local, independent, and non-profit news (print and broadcast and web) outside of the major conglomerates. The distinction is helpful in moments like this.
New conspiracy theory: Trump sent this hurricane from Florida to North Carolina to create election consternation! 😂😂
