Screwed up priorities, much?

Mount St. Helens is having a major eruption, so sayeth the local news dude. So I headed on over to CNN.com to get more information. Not only is there not ANY news about the VOLCANO ERUPTING IN OUR COUNTRY, but the head story is All Michael Jackson, All The Time.

Sometimes our news agencies have skewed priorities.

Perhaps they don't have much info to give about the eruption. I just saw a picture on the news, but they had nothing to say about it other than they were going to investigate further.

It is however odd that Jackson and Stewart seem to be the news leader for such a long span.

If you go there, there's a little blurb on it. Basically, it's not necessarily erupting, and seismologists say not to worry.

Yeah, whatever. If I was anywhere near Mount St. Helens (i.e. possibly in the path of a possible eruption), I'd be high-tailing it out of there. Well... at least to a safer spot, but preferably where I could still see it.

komotv.com has more info; it's our local news source here in seattle. It wasn't really major... it was doing the same stuff a few months back. But a volcano spewing ash is still more newsworthy than michael jackson in my book!

Hi! Another local Seattle resource - one of our local papers - The Seattle P.I. : http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/
