Next 48 hours of CNN coverage: EARTHQUAKE!!!!!!!
Edited on Thu Jun-16-05 04:12 PM by Bluebear
1. What we face, how we cope.
2. Bay Buchanan weighs in if this is God's revenge against liberals.
3. Larry King: Earthquake (the Movie) cast reunion
4. A Flyboy's Story (just because)

That should take them into the Friday night news dump.

:hi:

1. Man, Rove is GOOD!
I can't believe he orchestrated a quake to distract the MSM from the DSM...

15. because it's the 3rd significant quake
in that area in the last week.

Because there was a 7 a couple of days ago and a 7 in South America the day before that.

Because something may very well be happening along that fault line and affecting the lives of more than a few Americans.

Make no mistake...I think the media covers the wrong stuff most of the time. But, while this quake is "only" a 5...there is a reason to cover it immediately. For all we know a much larger quake could occur at any time, even before the evening news.

21. PS I was there for Northridge
You are right, and I don't mean to trivialize this at all. Only point is it gives them another event to cover 24/7 so as not to cover, well you know.

25. Yes but the chile event truly is not tried to the two other california
events, you may be onto something and this may be waht precedes a major blow up in the san andreas or this is just nature saying hello

When yuo ahve quakes, for those of us who live in a quake zone, this is good... for it usually means no truly major event. Get worried when you have none...

That said, if we do... will be fun to watch... as the NG is right as we speak in Iraq. Their origianl role, earthquakes, fires you know the usual

33. I saw some earthquake coverage
on CNN early this morning (yeah, it was shocking) where they were interviewing someone who felt the Chile earthquake may in fact be tied to the California quakes.

But I certainly have no expertise in this area. I live in the midwest. Ask me about tornadoes.

37. Indeed..
The north of the San Andreas and the south of the San Andreas are acting up together. The Rat Islands are shaking and that side of the ring has been silent for a long time.

I dont like that it will subract from the DSM hearings. I dont like it one bit.

But I sure as heck dont like the feeling Im getting about the possibility of a big one in California, where everyone who I love in the world other then my husband resides.

If the middle of the San Andreas was piping up.. I wouldnt be as concerned.

6. Ain't that the truth!
Listening to Wolf Blitzer moan on and on in his nasal monotone makes me want to dive into a fissure in the earth myself.

8. My m-i-l just called from back East

23. Anytime anything happens in CA, they all call us
I guess I should be glad that someone cares, but half the time the major event, quake, fire, mudslide, etc is so far away.

26. Northeridge
seven thirty, my mom breathlessly calling... mom I am in san diego, barely felt it... well I did and went back to sleep.

Now it led to other interesting events... such as mobilization, mutual aide and other stuff...

22. Middle of nowhere
Yucaipa - 17 miles east of San Bernadino.

No offense to Yucaipans, but you gotta admit you're pretty far away from things out there.

18. May the retribution on Arnold, and his neocon followers be swift....
And expose this evil and its shadows for all it is, to destroy it and remove it from the state of CA. I cross my arms, heart, all to permanently curse Arnold and misguided neocons for their horrid crusade of lies.

24. Anything CNN can do to damage America
and run cover for dihonesty and corruption- they will do. They'll find any excuse. They've pretty well proven that over the past decade, don't you think?
