London Tube blast treated as terror incident

I wasn't advocating a news blackout but rather questioning why they always do exactly what the opponent desires, which is blanket coverage... sometimes for days on end. Aren't you curious too?

By the way, as predicted Irma wasn't nearly as devastating as meteorologists had thought until a few days before landfall. They then changed their forecasts, but the media pretended to be unaware so as to retain viewers via ramping fear. World stock markets surged on Monday as a consequence.

This is absolute nonsense, the media reports information provided from the National Weather Center. Irma proved just as devastating as forecast. Ask the victims. Where are you getting your news from?

This is nonsense. Just what access do you have to US media outlets anyway? There is a very real reason to be fearful of storm surges, look what happened in New York and along the Jersey shore in 2012. That surge was 2 feet higher than the most extreme predictions and it was devastating.

I had read at USA-centric discussion forums two days prior that Irma would weaken to a Cat 4 and wouldn't have anything near to 175 mph winds as had been forecast prior which prompted dire warnings from FEMA and others including the Miami Beach mayor who described Irma as a "nuclear hurricane." In another thread, hours before it made Florida landfall, I stated as much. You took issue with my prognostication, and still do, in spite of the links I provided.
