Um whatever these balloons are will undisputedly be causing us grave losses in the near future. We need to monitor for them and stop them from reaching our shores.

Honestly though, fuck this woman:

It kinda weird if you go to many of the top Republicans Twitter they have a tweet like this. I went to AOC, Elizabeth Warren, and a few other top Dems Twitters and they havent commented. Kinda odd makes me want to look up the political demographics of where it took place. Like how did they vote in the 2020 election maybe that might shed light on the lack of media attention. And why the social media divide is Republicans are asking why isnt media talking about it. Dems are silent.

Here is Tweet proof that the post I quoted seems to be a Republican talking point on Twitter

What do you consider mainstream media? The regular news outlets are all talking about it.

This is a fuck up that they can't point fingers at each other. Neither party has been very active about workers rights and protections.

It's kind of telling just how shook and scared our goverment is about this incidents when both sides who are normally at odds with, blame, or undermine each other at every turn are in near total cooperation in regards to rug sweeping this event entirely.

This is actually really freaking disturbing in a chilling kind of way.

Not really. Yeah we made some Fallout memes about it but Ive been having discussions with people I know from there about what they can do to prevent cancer risk (Ive suggested potassium iodide but that is primarily for thyroid cancers vs. liver cancers associated with vinyl chloride exposure). Ive also told them the best thing they can do is sell all their shit and move far away.

I also managed to get a hold of Norfolk Southerns official operators guide for the Cleveland-Pittsburgh railroad network and posted it on Facebook. However, because it has lots of phone numbers and contact information (that Norfolk dont want you to know) and has massive For Government Use Only: Do Not Copy or Distribute watermarks Im hesitant to post it here. I found it online pretty easily though if anyone wants to go looking.

I lean left, but tbf
it took over a week to get mainstream coverage, and initial reporters were arrested.

We're so used to "both sides!" being a shitty meme, that we just can't accept when it actually happens.

The derailment was immediately covered by every mainstream news outlet in America.

It just wasn't the top story because the extent of the environmental impact wasn't known at first. That's it, that's all that happened. There is no grand coverup by journalists going on and it wouldn't make sense if there was because this kind of story gets them clicks and views.

There absolutely is a cover up going on between the Ohio state government, the federal department of transportation and Norfolk Southern though. Its corruption all the way down and theres no bottom.

The derailment was. The fallout since was "covered" but not pushed. I think that is what people refer to when saying a news story wasn't "covered".
I was aware and knew about it because I was actively looking for news on it.

Idk about worst but it's definitely bad. As far as oil spills go if I remember correctly I think this has leaked more oil than the Deep water spill.

It's so crazy how no one seems to be talking about this. In mainstream media I mean.


'Conservative' radio is harping on Balloons and China.

That's how I know the issue in Ohio is a big deal.

That's what they actually believe so this shouldn't be all that surprising to you.
