      <![CDATA[Just two points.<br>
<br>
1) The Nashville blogger coverage was better than anything the MSM could come up with anyway.<br>
<br>
2) The world missed an epic display of tough-as-nails survival and heroism. A big city with small town honor.

      <![CDATA[The answer is simple: George W Bush is no longer President, hence the MSM aren't looking for a disaster to blame on him. Sometimes they act like real reporters.

      <![CDATA[I live in Atlanta and was  as amazed and outraged as all of you Tennesseans that your tragedy went unreported. I mentioned this to an acquaintance, whose comment was " well, it really didn't affect lots of people, only commercial areas in downtown Nashville and that rich neighborhood, Belle Meade".

      <![CDATA[It seems that part of the problem arises from Tennessee being populated with (many, not all) decent people who go out and help their neighbors, not prey on them. The national media paid attention to Katrina because of the uncontrolled criminal behavior amidst the destruction and the loss of life.

      <![CDATA[I think it's more what media outlets citizens are paying attention to, as opposed to what what the media itself is covering. I've got a half-dozen national print websites [NYT, WP, Trib, etc] embedded on my homepage and every one of them had ongoing coverage of the storms and resultant flooding.

Canadians know the area well and are always concerned about their neighbors.<br>

      <![CDATA[I wondered this same thing myself: Nashville's a major city, yet we had little coverage of a city of 500,000 people paralysed by flash flooding. Methinks the news channels could have delayed the celebrity gossip, shows hosted by partisan hacks, and the missing coed stories to tell us what the hell was going on in Nashville.<br>

      <![CDATA[Sorry, Aramalian and Tobin, but history doesn't support your thesis. If you track public opinion month-by-month from 1963-1973 you'll find that public support for the war, initially almost universal, had fallen sharply by the fall of 1967, four months before Tet.
