Where is the American news media on the subject of avian influenza, and what America is doing to prepare for it?
Most people in America are ignorant of the risk currently being watched by scientists. Bloggers are posting about it, considerably posting in some places... but there's nothing in the broadcast or cable news, really, other than some very very general tidbits.
There's no hard hitting investigations or questions... or anger.
Why isn't there at least one major news media person who nightly is screaming WHAT DOES THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION HAVE TO SAY AND DO ABOUT AVIAN INFLUENZA, AND WHAT SHOULD AVERAGE PEOPLE BE DOING ABOUT IT?
Where the fuck are you on this issue, Wolf Blitzer? What the hell are you doing, Joe Scarborough? Lou Dobbs, can you drop your daily anxiety construction about immigration and cover this topic hard every day instead? Are you all waiting until you've completed building your stockpiles of oseltamivir and surgical masks? What are you waiting for? When will this story get anywhere near the coverage of Natalee Holloway before it's too late? Don't you have a responsibility to prepare Americans so that they can prepare themselves?
Because it may be too late now. And you're hurting America by your lack of coverage of the story.
