Corporate media is predictably trying to wring maximum attention and fear-mongering from the 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.

Well said.
As long as we're pointing the finger at each other then we're not pointing it at the people making the rules and causing the problems.
Blacks, Irish, Gays, Single Mothers, Benefit Claimants, Immigrants and now Muslims. The past 50 years has seen a conveyor belt of scapegoats as the reason for societies problems, lack of money, reasons to be fearful etc. etc.
The one constant - the establishment deflecting blame onto the 'little' people.
The sad part - people too stupid to think for themselves.
