Oh my god, this is completely insane...
First the name calling starts (and I'm not sure what a plonker is, but I think it's bad...so then if I call you a Mother Plonker, that'd be, like, really bad).
Follow that by the Wrath of Anna. Dual posts no less. Must have really got under that cold canuck skin of yours, eh?
Now, don't get your panties in a bunch, ladies. But see if you can follow this. The thread is about DEAD POOR PEOPLE that nobody cares about, not your prescious little playground.
I made a challenge, quite simply, that the DR1 news was remiss in their lack of coverage. That other news outlets (and I did mention Canada - get out the granny glasses, Anna - which is where Toronto exists I've been told) deemed it newsworthy. I did read the stories of the lost boat last week. I did read the story that said "Yeah, we found a boat...lots of dead poor people (that nobody cares about)...bad motor...some survivors...and now onto other news". Thursday, nothing. Friday, nothing, Today, nothing. A developing story of international proportion. In media everywhere but here. What gives? That was my point and question (which, by the way, has never been answered).
There's also a related story about 6 Naval personnel that have been arrested and are being investigated for taking bribes related to this excursion. But you won't read that here either. Because it's about DEAD POOR PEOPLE that nobody cares about.
So, if you'd like - oh, grand keeper of the boards - to spin off another thread about the DR1 News editorial slant, I'd be most happy to contribute. Then you and your horde can smack me around like a red-headed stepchild. And then I won't feel like I'm hijacking this thread about DEAD POOR PEOPLE that nobody cares about.
Here, you can start it out with this:

So, is there light or what? How are generators doing? Do you think the peso's going to drop more? Is there gas? Could there be more Generals added? Ooh, compelling, better be sure to read the DR1 news tomorrow and find out!
