On the subject of the latest snow storm to hit this country from the west through the east, this snow storm dumped 4+” of snow and ice on the western states of Utah, Idaho, Colorado, Nevada, etc Friday night through late Saturday afternoon and I did not see one national media outlet say anything about it. But when it merely threatened the east coast, before it even got there, every national media outlet was predicting how it was going adversely affect the Monday morning commute.
Why was so much more attention placed on the east coast while the western states were ignored? Because all of the major national media is headquarters along the east coast.
This is not the first time I have seen this clear bias. It is as though the west is some other entity that is not worthy of the almighty east coasts attention.
Just an observation.
