Some Say Media Erred in Mine Coverage

some say the story is picked for soap opera value and don't care whether it's right or wrong, because it's a stupid story in the first place.

it caters to women, who like roller coaster emotions

but they don't like having their roller coasters trifled with

hence the media problem. how to avoid alienating their soap opera audience

each day, 10,000 americans (round numbers) die.

each one is important so somebody, but different somebodies for different people.

those somebodies get support from women around them, in their neighborhood, because the women are interested, while the men do the necessary digging.

a division of labor working the way it should, support and the technical details, in the neighborhood.

soap opera is parasitic on that virtue of women, hooking the interest in support but in support of nothing at all.

it's porn for women.

they're then sympathetic where their sympathy does no good for anybody, except entertaining themselves.

this is a solid audience and the media sells it.

hence the miner story.

hence the need for the media to deal with angry soap opera women

men in the meantime left the media target demographic years ago and don't care.

except, like porn, it becomes a problem when it takes over all the terrain.

all the nations news is edited by its soap opera target audience, which makes a serious public debate on anything impossible.

thanks to soap opera porn.

The answer, like the story itself, is murky.
