10. So who are you saying isn't covering it?

Do you just mean DU? I'd agree there's almost no discussion of it here. TV, radio and newspapers are covering it, according to posts in this thread, and Google News lists 2420 web articles about it.

4. Democracy Now! spent 20 minutes of it's hour show today on the quake

the rest on Indigenous people - in light of it being "Columbus Day" or "Indigenous People's Day" depending on where you live and what you think about that.

5. Disaster victims are going out of fashion

Seriously. That's the way it goes in TV-land. Over-exposure, jumping the shark, whatever you call it....

Nobody even comments about the mass landslide burials in Guatemala
