West and over 300,000 acres are affected. I saw this on the WEATHER CHANNEL. I have to admit I tune in to CNN occasionally. I haven't heard stories on this tragedy. Maybe it is in the "crawl". I can't read it because it is too distracting. Anyway, are MSNBC and Fox covering these fires? How are states coping with so many National Guard types away doing "other things"? If CNN won't really report the news what hope have we?

They announced the other day that we have fewer chemicals in our systems per a CDC report but did not mention any of the very negative bits in the report. It is an outrage. Do we have a chance without a real NEWS network to offer competition to this crap? Why isn't there one? I would suppose that tens of millions would watch. We're boned.
