      Just as absurd of your debunked claim that no one is covering this huge national story? If you want to know more about the story, you’ll look it up. If not, you’re not that interested.🤷🏾‍♀️

      That presupposes the story is being covered enough to break through the white noise so that everyday people can learn about it the first time and then go learn more. That is objectively not happening

      You keep talking about "regular folks" and "every day people," as if they are somehow different from people who read news.

      Your average 65 year old Iowa farmer doesn't get their news from Twitter. They get their news from nightly television or the daily paper. A one paragraph AP summary on page C16 or a 30-60 second clip on TV (or just a banner ticker) will get missed completely.

      In that case, your problem isn't with the AP, which is covering the hell out of the strike, it's with the local paper's decision not to run a longer version.

      How do state and local newspapers decide what national stories to run, how long, how often, etc? They look at what the agenda setters at places like the New York Times are talking about, or not talking about.

      Oh goodness no. That may have (arguably? In some places?) been true decades ago, but local print papers, the ones that have survived, have gone HEAVY into local news. Their editors assume people can get the other stories elsewhere.

      So where is an everyday Iowan who primarily reads the Des Moines Register, listens to NPR, and watches the 6 and 10 evening news supposed to get their news about a teachers strike in West Virginia?

      Ok fine I'll bite one more time: why does your imaginary "normal person" listen to NPR (which btw is covering the strike) AND watch multiple local tv reports, but not take 10 minutes to check out google news?

      Maybe they don't have high speed internet like many folks in rural Iowa. One NPR story doesn't come anywhere close to guaranteeing that even regular radio listeners will catch it. A shooting or celebrity gossip will have wall to wall coverage. That's a big difference

      I also continue to find it odd that you repeatedly suggest that the Florida shooting was somehow not worth covering or paying attention to.

          Im pointing out the obvious and glaring disparity in the way for profit corporate media decides to cover the two stories
