There was a tornado warning out last night for the area around Central Michigan University, and I’ve heard through friends there that the power is out for a large number of people, including the entire campus, and will likely continue to be out for a while longer. This means there is likely a large amount of damage around there.
There is absolutely no news coverage of this AT ALL. I mean, why would anyone want to hear about a TORNADO WARNING and its damage IN JANUARY? Damage that has knocked out power to one of the largest universities in the state, which is populated by students who likely have relatives and friends that would like some additional information?
In past springs, the season for such storms, places have gotten coverage for far less. But now, nope, no can do. What pressing stories have kept the reporters busy instead, you ask?
I give you the top five stories from my preferred TV station in Lansing, the station hub most likely to carry reports:
- Granholm “Disappointed” in Michigan’s Primaries
- Worst Dressed List Released
- Supreme Court Deadlines
- Granholm Asks for Mentors
- River Flood Warnings Issued
At least two of these stories are complete trash (2 & 4). They couldn’t spare one guy, a camera, and half an hour travel time to get up there and get some decent fucking photos and cobble together a story? Nope, let me learn more about how Posh Spice dresses and my fucking useless governor telling people that mentoring kids is good! :mad:
