The Colonial Pipeline spill has caused 6 states (Tennessee, Virginia, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, and North Carolina) to declare a state of emergency. Gasoline (petrol) prices on the east coast are likely to spike. Yet, most puzzling is how this vast emergency and its likely effect on cost of living has gone unnoticed by mainstream media outlets. The pipeline is owned by Koch Industries: is this why the media is silent?
[Are there any Soylentils in the affected area who can corroborate this story? Have you heard of the spill, seen long gas lines, or any price gouging? -Ed.]

The worst thing about it is that the press keeps trying to appease the batshit insane contingent by giving the right coverage that's downright charitable. It took the press about 6 years to start actually taking President Bush to task for the various misdeeds that were going on. 6 freaking years.
But, you still get people whining about the liberal media even though the evidence is pretty damning that not only are they not liberal, the coverage is usually quite conservative. Good luck getting factual information from the mainstream press about the various crimes against humanity being committed by the Israelis or the destruction that the federal reserve has caused in the US.
