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.

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.
