You missed the bomb cyclone that's happening right now in half the country?
Yes. Believe it or not, it's not really major news for those not impacted. We have the local evening news on most nights in the background, haven't heard a thing about it. I also regularly read NYT and WaPo and follow the Internets.
It's sad that such outlets don't bother to print about stuff that impacts middle America. They could regain some credibility with a lot of said middle Americans without ever changing their political alignment just by giving them a little more coverage.
