It's urgent to a lot of Americans, judging by the non-mainstream legs this story has.
- azernik 13y agoUrgent != important. Urgent means time-sensitive. Quickly developing events hit the mainstream outlets quite quickly, but with stories about newly-revealed but long-term stuff like this they can usually afford to wait a few days to get the story polished.
- threeseed 13y agoIt's not urgent to a lot of Americans just you. Will the news change depending on if it's reported today, tomorrow or next way ? No ? Then it's NOT urgent.
- ferdo 13y ago> It's not urgent to a lot of Americans just you. OT, but a good rule to follow in civil public discussion is avoid imputing motive or desire on the part of the person you're conversing with. IOW, avoid making it personal if you don't want to appear rude or uncivil.
