I went 80 stories deep on Yahoo! and found all kinds of
drivel, but not a word about the floods in Nebraska. Flyover, ya ain’t nothin’.
I looked at the first 82 stories on ABC news, and found that
there was a story about weather in Syria, but nothing on the floods in
Nebraska.
On CBS News, there was a story out of Fond du Lac Wisconsin,
about flooding, but no mention of Nebraska. Close enough, I guess.
CNN…well, you have to wade through stuff about how brilliant
AOC is, and how Ilhan Omar is the best thing since canned beer…but you guessed
it. No mention of the flooding in Nebraska. Whoops, there is a mention but not a
lead. Below the story on who Cory Booker is dating.
They all carried lead stories on how gun laws need to change.
They all carried lead stories about the 737-MAX-8…which were
all fundamentally wrong, you will see.
And we wonder why we should doubt these news sources??
Fox was no better.
If you haven't heard, the who eastern part of Nebraska is under water. The Union Pacific main line is stopped, bridges washed out. Roads are gone, bridges gone. Billions of dollars of damage, one would think. Then talk about the calves that perished, it is right at the beginning of calving season.
Let’s talk about the 737-MAX-8. Notice that the accidents
were with third world airlines? Why, you ask? Well, the First Officer in the Ethiopian
Airlines crash had about 200 hours. I have more hours than that, and I am not
qualified to deal with an emergency on any airplane, let alone a sophisticated
one like the MAX. My prediction, supported by some, is that they will figure
out that all they had to do was turn off the autopilot. We can get into the
anti-stall prevention software, but turn the auto pilot off and fly the
airplane, guys. Save a lot of lives.
But the media says Boeing is at fault. We’ll see.
