Agree that CNN has had the most, but as someone who has been actively looking for coverage of this event it has not been easy to find. I have been taping the national evening news (all stations) since Sunday night. Until the Opry flooded the only coverage was deep into the broadcast and the package was less than 30 seconds. The Opry didn't flood until Monday.

Same with GMA Weekend on Sunday morning.

Here is a perfect example, though I know that the site is subject to change. ABC News website. For the past few hours, the only mention is all the way to the bottom, under "local." As in, they view this as a local story, but somehow "Does Body Spray Make You Irresistable?" is national.

Hurricanes, tornadoes, etc always lead newscasts and have the "A Team" of reporters on site. especially given the number of people who have died. No one is disputing that there haven't been other stories the past few days, but just that it has been so disproportional to the other 2 (now 3 if you count the murder of Yeardley Love) stories.

All natural disasters are not covered equally.

But, there's plenty of reliable news coverage.

I watch the Weather Channel almost obsessively (as background, mostly) and CNN for news most of the time, so I guess I see a lot more of this coverage. There were some devastating tornadoes that didn't get a lot of national coverage either, from the same storm system.

It is disturbing to hear on the Mark Levin show today a caller from TN was claiming that President Obama has yet to address what's going on in Nashville even though today he called for Americans to pray for the victims of natural disasters in Haiti and Chile.

"Barack Obama does not care about TN people."

That's nuts - Obama has declared a lot of the mid-state a national disaster area.

And I have seen people say "Obama doesn't like white people"

Is TN a red state?

Of course he doesn't. A Black family wouldn't want to be the First Family of a majority white country if it liked white people. The goal is to torment and torture.

Why the Media Ignored the Nashville Flood

Those pictures are wild. I had met my English friend at the Opryland Hotel just a little over a year ago - it's hard to believe what it looks like now!

I've heard a lot of people talking about Chile in the last couple days. Did something else happen (more recently than the earthquake back in February)?

IIRC, there was another earthquake there last week.
