Our fearless US press is too scared to have on-site staff to cover the largest ecological land-based disaster since Three Mile Island. Or they've been told by the regime it's a non-issue? Not sure which is worse, but the outcome is what you see before you; back page coverage a week after the incident. Barely a blurb. Yes, these things take time to fully investigate. Where are the daily updates from the EPA though? Why aren't the major news outlets syndicating these daily EPA updates? This is relevant to more Americans than the war in Ukraine, which many news outlets have a dedicated section for in the header section (Business, World, Sports, etc.) I just checked US News & World Report and CNN front pages - not even listed.

>Our fearless US press is too scared to have on-site staff to cover the largest ecological land-based disaster since Three Mile Island According to whom? Looking at this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Environmental_disasters_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Environmental_disaste..., it's not hard to find incidents that were arguably worse, eg. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Dan_River_coal_ash_spill https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Dan_River_coal_ash_spill or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Gold_King_Mine_waste_water_spill https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Gold_King_Mine_waste_wate...

  "...the outcome is what you see before you; back page/hardly any coverage a week after the incident. Nothing on the front pages a week after the incident. Barely a blurb." If they're there, whatever work they're doing is not making it onto front pages. The alternative explanation (subtext from the description above) is more likely - most major news outlets have not sent a journalist to cover this, neither are they covering EPA updates. If they were, why is their work not receiving daily updates on the news outlet front pages?

Before you mock the press maybe take a look at how they are being treated in Ohio. This is from a press conference given by the governor last week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQMLxBpiSu8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQMLxBpiSu8

  If true, thia should be even bigger news - instead front pages are covered with chinese baloons

  I would like to see Ohio law enforcement try that against ABC News, CNN, etc. (they won't) That's what makes this scary - the few independent journalists that are trying to cover this are being locked out, and the national journalists are nowhere to be found.

  Hard to tell what's going on when the "before" isn't shown in the video, and very large sections of what is there has talking heads but no audio / silence.

Prove there's a conspiracy to reduce coverage of this event. Also https://www.cnn.com/cnn/2023/02/14/us/ohio-train-derailment-investigation/index.html https://www.cnn.com/cnn/2023/02/14/us/ohio-train-derailment-... https://www.foxnews.com/us/ohio-train-derailment-officials-say-air-monitoring-shows-levels-safe-chemical-questions-abound https://www.foxnews.com/us/ohio-train-derailment-officials-s... I can't believe how much bullshit you spew when it's so easy to disprove. Google the disaster and any news network and you'll find news about it. Why do you lie? Seriously is it because you want to push your immature cynical "all the government and media is bad" crap?
