Serious. Its all on twitter and tiktok though.
Fair enough.
My opinion:
"Mainstream news" is only good for spreading propaganda. Either they are working to change a narrative, or they are distracting from the real issues. Take the stupid Chinese weather balloon nonsense. Complete joke. But, (a) it is useful for drumming up fear against China so that the US populace accepts a war against China in 2026-2029 time frame, and (b) distracts from how bad the Ukraine war is going for NATO.
No real news comes from the mainstream. FOX/CNN/MSNBC/etc ... all have the same paymasters. The only real news is from independent journalists on substack and Rumble/Bitchute/Youtube.
So, in the case of this disaster, FOX/CNN/MSNBC won't touch it for several reasons:
- They don't have "rail" reporters who understand / track the industry. Their lazy "reporting" involves repeating the PR statements that the railroad company produces. Railroad PR team is great at making the story boring. So, the story is boring and ignored. Real journalism is expensive and not sexy.
- They won't touch the rail industry because the D's are heavily invested. Remember when Biden cancelled the Keystone XL on his 1st day in office and pushed all of that petroleum onto the rails? Would look bad if the American people really understood how dangerous and disaster prone the industry issue.
- They won't touch it because they can't talk about the D's environmental disasters. Just looks bad and doesn't fit the propaganda narrative.
If this story continues to be a major issue, then they will be forced to cover it. But, they will spin it to make it look like an evil company taking profits over safety. They will ignore the fact that the head of US transportation is a diversity hire fag who doesn't know jack about transportation. They will ignore the policies that moved traffic from pipelines to rail and is producing stresses in the system. Etc...
