      Every single tweet about the media ignoring the teacher strike in West Virginia is filled with links from NPR, LAT, NYT, WaPo and others covering the teacher strike in West Virginia

      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)

      A not insubstantial part of this comes from the amount of news coming out of Washington and tired journalists apparently trying to will the chaotic era we're all living through out of existence. https://twitter.com/jason_a_w/status/969982520191143936?s=21 …

      "Why isn't anyone covering West Virginia?" (When they are) is also a way of saying "why is Washington dominating the news," when they can't say that because that question itself is absurd.

      Anyway if you find yourself wondering "why isn't the media covering this?" a good thing to do is get off twitter and go take a spin on a news site or google news. ("Get off twitter" is my advice in all situations, actually.)

      My mentions are taking on a flavor of "Corporate media [that is often unionized] hates unions and that's why they're not covering the strike [that it is actually covering]!" So, uh, I'm taking my own advice and getting off Twitter for a while. Masterchef Junior is back!

      Also disagree w/your premise. I never ask why media isn’t covering something, I could care less about that, I am only interested in the substance of the news itself, I can prioritize for myself. I guarantee you I’m not alone.

      You may not ask that, but a great many people On Here have spent the last week doing just that.

      Loading seems to be taking a while.
