okay let's just say it
you know I'm just flat-out America by and large particular corporate America
home through our media America
by and large doesn't give a rats ass about poor people
case in point what's going on in West Virginia right now
almost four months after ten thousand gallons
other toxic coal cleaning chemical known as MCA chum
leak in the Elk River and poisoned poisoned
the water supply of 102 up out since I've West Virginians
the federal government is just now starting to look into what happens to
people
who in hell that chemical over the next couple months the PA
is going to take vapor samples and try to establish some sort of a safe
inhalation limit now
well any action is better than no action this investigation is too little too
late
and that's cuz it doesn't do anything to help a three hundred thousand-plus
people who are already exposed MCH am papers
when the chemical started leaking into their water supply in January
is doctor rob hall good job the
Carlock charleston health department this is
West Virginia told the Charleston Daily Mail quote
I am at a loss as to what the utility is to the 300,000 people already exposed
MCH am from this particular test
course it would be one thing if the public knew
about the long-term exposure affects a fancy up HM but it doesn't then it
probably watch for years maybe decades
before we know how destructive the Elk River
spill really was but to add insult to injury if this recent new information is
all news to you
that's sadly not surprising although the Elk River spill was national news back
in January and February it's fallen off the radar the mainstream media ever
since
and these people are still suffering from mister so why's it no longer in the
media
well because West Virginia's possible poor people
& Spa support people who are being hurt by the spill
that's why at the Elk River spill occurred the Hudson River of the
wealthy upper west side manhattan her in the Potomac River along the upscale
Georgetown waterfront
it would be the top story on mainstream networking cable news shows
every single night and can you imagine what the reaction would be if toxic
chemicals lead in lead in a new york city's water supply
and it took the EPA 4 months
to figure out dangers was the NL's chemicals but cuz the Elk River spill
happen mostly in rural poorer and economically-depressed west virginia
no one in the mainstream media cares
in fact its silence on the ongoing environmental disaster in West
Virginia's pretty representative
at the state of the country these days more were
outraged that are racist like Clippers owner Donald sterling smears
a wealthy African American like magic johnson you know we really need to own
up to the fact that we never had a national conversation about this guy's
ideas on race during the decades that he's been discriminating against
is impoverished black and Latino tenants and while congress can find the time for
yet another trip down the bad guys the rabbit hole
it still has an extended unemployment benefits to raise the minimum wage
two things that would actually help struggling
Americans everywhere you look these days the two main institutions the party
should protect the powerless
our media and our government are standing
idly by has our country marches through new Gilded Age
after all
as I'm sure you're gonna see other corporate news shows this week
and this coming Sunday's Meet the Republican new shows
you know every every Sunday all three networks have a now it's time to meet
the republicans
face the republicans but other republicans talking about
why talk about poison poor people in West Virginia when this fancy rich
people at the White House Correspondents Dinner
