Run for your Lives!

The lazy incompetent media are it again. Instead of covering real news which is difficult and expensive, they have leapt on a story that is sad but insignificant: ebola. Two Americans have contracted the ebola virus in Liberia. Both are being flown here to Atlanta to be treated. There is no chance of the disease escaping and spreading. There is no story here. But all the networks have amped up this insignificant item, trying to create fear, attempting to make it into a huge story: American at danger? Will ebola spread? Are we doomed?  More significant is what's happening in Toledo. The water there isn't safe to drink. Tap water is dangerous. Store shelves have been emptied of bottled water. The news is eager to cover all the dramatic panic. But why don't they find out why the water is polluted? Who is responsible? How did the get away with it? But the news won't cover that. Why? It's too much work.
