Re: “Why Did It Take So Long for National Media to Notice We were Flooded?”

Think back to 2004 and Katrina. Louisiana got 95% of the press, when Mississippi was hit just as hard, with even less economic infrastructure to help them bounce back.

Why? The "hook." Mississippi invited FEMA in immediately, while Louisiana tried to go it alone in the most crucial hours of the disaster. The "hook" of the federal government "ignoring" Katrina became the story, and once they started that narrative, they COULDN'T tell the Mississippi stories, because they would have refuted it.

The news media hasn't been about reporting the news since Cronkite decided to try and end the Vietnam conflict.
