No. Nobody did.
I disagree. The story was headline news on every Canadian newspaper website I checked yesterday, plus on the websites of Canadian television news networks like the CBC and CTV – so I’m not sure on what basis Canuck12 describes this as “nobody”. Unless perhaps he was talking about print newspapers, which I didn’t check.
What was the headline? The Storm hitting Haiti or the storm hitting Jersey Shore?
Because I’m pretty sure (and by that I mean 100% sure) that on Oct 30 as New Jersey had just been evacuated, that most new agencies were busy reporting the current status of Sandy rather than her status 1 week earlier.
What I’m getting at is the proportion of coverage for the impact on American people versus Caribbean people. Like Garg said. Sure it happens all the time, it’s probably to be expected. But I think it is rather shameful how we value peoples lives differently if they have more money or a different tan.
