It’s True: Where IS All of the Coverage on the Disaster in Latin America?

I just read a great article entitled, Central American Flood, Where is the Coverage?, discussing the flooding from Hurricane Stan in Mexico & Guatemala and the lack of press attention in the US. I have to say that this is something that has been bothering me for some time, and I’m glad someone has taken the lead in discussing it. Hundreds have died and thousands are in great need.
I’m not even going to summarize it…just recommend that everyone go read the article. It’s time that the US start paying attention to the rest of the world, as they pay attention to us. It’ll come back to bite us sooner than many think.

I think the media is ignoring it because they don’t want us to donate our money to the victims in Latin America. They want us to stay focused on Katrina.
But people are people, so please donate to the victims of Wilma.
It was kind of Mel Gibson to donate. He sees humans in distress and doesn’t care what country they’re from or what they look like. Good for him.
