I'm amazed at the lack of **detail** from the news media concerning efforts to rescue 6 Americans buried under the Hotel Montana in Haiti. I mean, it's a little late now... but i can't help but remember all those car chases that CNN would lock on to for 3 or 4 uninterrupted hours at a time. One idiot in a car is granted the nation's undivided attention. Those 4 students and 2 faculty got maybe 2 minutes coverage here-and-there, in the days immediately following the earthquake. I bet if one of Tiger's girlfriends was trapped under there we'd have had hourly updates... at least.
The official death toll is now over 100,000 btw.
EDIT: also worth mentioning (for those who might not know) is that those students weren't visiting the islands to party and get wasted, etc. They were down there providing some sort of assistance to the poorest of the poor. What should be a deeply moving human-interest story doesn't seem to have mattered much to the various network news "producer$" out there.
Oh well... what's this i hear about Bradgelina then?
