I guess that's because it ain't "news," huh?
But this divisive, agenda-driving shit is, huh?
Or this literal pffft of a "news" item?
No, the Boston Globe would rather waste print and paper with a nothing story on the front-page.
Case closed, readers!
The BG has truly turned into a shit rag (corresponds with the New York Times takeover. Coincidence?)."Mudslide damages 50 homes, roads
INDEPENDENCE - A huge mudslide significantly damaged more than 50 homes and forced the evacuation of residents in Independence on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada. Severe thunderstorms Saturday set off the mudslide 300 yards wide and up to 3 feet deep. The mud oozed across California Highway 395, forcing authorities to close the road for several hours. Authorities say they removed a few people trapped in their homes.
So out of the frying pan into the... mud?
And if the rest of this report doesn't sound like a George Carlin newscast, I don't know what would:
The heavy rains modestly helped personnel fighting wildfires, but the downpours also triggered flooding that cut off a firefighting crew's escape route when a road washed out. The 59 firefighters didn't need the escape route, because fires did not threaten them. They moved to higher ground as a precaution against the rising waters, but they were stranded in a field overnight (AP July 14, 2008)."
What the hell?
Reminds me of his "a man has barricaded himself in his apartment; however, police are ignoring him because he is unarmed and not threatening anybody."
Now to a brief (what else) about Big Bertha:
"Bertha weakens into tropical storm
HAMILTON - Hurricane Bertha weakened into a tropical storm yesterday after stalling for a day near Bermuda, the US National Hurricane Center said. The top sustained winds of what had been the first hurricane of the 2008 Atlantic storm season slipped to near 65 miles per hour. Bertha's outer bands were expected to brush the island within two days. JetBlue canceled today's flights from Bermuda to Boston (Globe wire services)."
Meanwhile, the U.S. Midwest is still suffering from the flood's effects, but oh well, right, Globe?
"The whole United States seems like it's under stress right now. You've got those tornadoes out there, hurricanes, these floods, now the fires in California, and my son said it seems like the whole Midwest is under water.... [there is still plenty of work to be done]" -- Telford resident Doris Rogerson
"All of us here realize how devastating this flooding is — how the water is just not receding." -- Sarah Bergin, Care & Share's executive director.
But the MSM made sure the "news" coverage receded, didn't they?
Instead we get MORE HOT FART MIST (with chunks) -- literally!!!!
"Debris litters area after Alaska volcano erupts; Explosion throws ash cloud at least 50,000 feet high" by Associated Press | July 14, 2008
ANCHORAGE - A volcano erupted with little warning on a remote island in Alaska over the weekend, sending residents of a nearby ranch fleeing from falling ash and volcanic rock.
The Okmok Caldera began erupting Saturday morning, just hours after seismologists at the Alaska Volcano Center began detecting a series of small tremors.
The explosion flung an ash cloud at least 50,000 feet high, said geophysicist Steve McNutt.

Let me give you a flavor of my volcano, BG:
PFFFFFFT!
