St. Louis is now officially in a "state of emergency," and the city has been declared a disaster area because of yesterday's storms, the first time this has happened in many years.
If half a million people were without power in New York City on a day when the heat index was 113 in Manhattan, you'd bet this would merit more than just a passing mention on CNN, MSNBC and Fox News Channel. Reporters would be screaming "blackout" all over the TV.
The St. Louis storm, however, is a mere blip on the national media radar screen. This news isn't even in the Top 20 of U.S. stories in terms of media coverage, according to the U.S. News portion of the Google News website, which tracks what media outlets are paying attention to what stories.
Maybe it'd be bigger news if the Runaway Bride had been caught in the storm.

This about this. She has a wikipedia entry.
Sigh.
Regular readers, all 10 of you: Wow Gold appears to be spam.
I've got my first spammer commenting on my website.
I love the spam. Keep it coming. It give me a warm fuzzy feeling. Just like the articles at NYT that addresses the "tens of thousands" of people without power". Oh, and the reason for the outage is unknown.
