It has been an *extraordinarily* busy week for news, and very important news at that. But because you personally did not see something blowing up your feed does not mean it wasn't covered, nor does it mean that other readers didn't see it.

(And a lot of these tweets? They're coming from people *in the damn media* who haven't bothered to google, because we all like to pretend our twitter feeds are a good proxy for what the rest of the media is covering and boy howdy is that another tweetstorm altogether)

Replying to @mccanner
This thread is on point. I do wonder if part of it is reader interest influenced by those same media folks. That is it's been years of stereotypical WV coverage so when a big story happens :crickets not clicks:

The first complaint I saw was on the second day of the strike, after The Times had published its first story, and it was exactly along those lines.
