Larry King: Forget The Facts, Tell A Story

From CNN's Larry King Live email newsletter, June 28, 2006:

CNN Tonight: Massive Floods Bring Death and Destruction

At least nine dead and some missing as massive floods hit from upstate New York all the way down to Maryland and Virginia – with hundreds of thousands evacuated! And more storms are heading that way – how much worse will it get? We've got the latest with reporters and mayors up and down the disaster area!

Once again, Larry King follows the lemmings of the corporate media, sad pictures and stories of a natural disaster. Or IS it a "natural" disaster? A show on the contributing factors of global warming, unrelenting real estate development with no serious attention to the environmental impact, the lack of investment at all levels of government either in preventive measures or resources to swiftly and thoroughly assist after the fact? Nope, nada gonna happen, now or later. Pay no attention to the facts--they're inconvenient, make up a story that will distract the populace.
