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.]

For me, it depends a lot on the subject at hand.
For example, the BBC and PBS will not give me anything close to an unbiased view of anything to do with the Middle East. Neither will Al Jazeera, on its own. But if you put the BBC, Al Jazeera, the Jerusalem Post, and PBS together, you'll get some sort of approximation of the truth.
