because only white trash are affected

>>8794203
Then why did we care about Katrina? Only niggers were affected.

this was on CNN for quite some time bro....

Troll

Im watching Anderson Cooper right now and they are having an hour long special.

>In lighter news, it looks like Nashville and its citizens are no more. Towns across the US are celebrating with fireworks and parades.

>>8794220

An hour long special -how many days- after the fact?

The media doesn't give a shit on what's important or not, when's the last time you've heard about the Congo Civil war on CNN?

it was on the news for a while. and i FUCKING SAW IT THIS MORNING too.

I've not watched the American news in awhile.
I don't think anyone I know has either.
Except my parents.

It's scary living so close to that place. Water sucks, man.

>>8794237

Black people killing each other?

Sure is a day in the life of the Bronx in here.

This is divine vengeance for country music.

THE LIBERAL MEDIA LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVES DARKIES

>>8794237

Didn't even know there was a Congo civil war.

>>8794267
Hell yeah bro, I actually live in a suburb very close to Nashville, and I can't fucking stand country music.

However, I'm concerned that there might be some sort of a "revival" of country music in the future where it becomes popular simply because everyone pities Nashville for getting drowned on. I hope that day never comes bro.

Good point, you asked. American news media does have something similar to Attention Deficit Disorder, I call it Event Attention Deficit Disorder. American news media is more focused on the drama of the event, not the issue or the overall picture. As soon as the drama ends, they go to the next drama filled event. It's cheap and it's profitable.

Nearly 2000 people died from Katrina and there was $90 billion worth of damage.

It got more news coverage because it was a way bigger disaster.

Do I win?

You must be retarded. The oil situation is pretty serious and is deserving of some coverage. Not only does that have a major ecological impact, but the economic damage could be another nail in the coffin for your damn country. I'm not even from the States and I realize it's a pretty big deal.

> Nashville flood

LOL. Nashville? Really? Does anyone seriously fucking care?

yea, i'm about 15 miles away from nashville and i'm really annoyed by how ppl keep bitching about how much media coverage it's NOT getting.

I mean yea, it's bad and all, but it's not as bad as Katrina. People are just pissed it's noI t getting that kinda coverage. I got to swim and canoe in the flood water and get drunk with friends and it was pretty fun. long story short, ppl quit bitching about not getting meida coverage. i'm just hoping the titans stadium is unflooded by football season.

Wow I can't believe there are so many Nashville/Franklin fags on here. My guess is that most are underage...

Pic is from school playground before it got bad. 10 feet deep in the pic. The second day, the whole road was under water.

>>8794557
And yes I live very close to Nashville.

>>8794557
yea, i'm murfreesboro broooo MTSU up in here.

>>8794377

welcome to the last 30 or 4o years of news bro

>>8794601
Did it flood much over there? I didn't bother checking much on places not within walking distance...

Tennessean here.

When you decide to move your state capitol into a basin, you should plan for a scenario such as this.

I do not pity the capitol's lack of disaster prevention plans.

You guys are totally flooded but you still have power and Internet access?

The snow this year was a bigger deal.

>>8794601
if it was katrina class, you fuckers wouldn't be posting on 4chan.

This is why I get my news from the Internet. In recent news, Haskell is continuing to develop rapidly. Also funny pictures futures are holding strong.

Wars? What wars?

>>8794627
nahh it really didn't. at mtsu it flooded the bell street parking lot and field next to it, everybody was rafting and canoing and getting drunk and stuff. it was fun. but it sucked for everybody else haha. nashville and franklin got it the worst.

>>8794190

'Cause Katrina was a hurricane, all that happened in Nashville was a flash flood/tornado touchdowns.

AMERICAN NEWS COVERAGE SUCKS ASS?

HOLY FUCKING SHIT, SOMEBODY CALL CNN AND TELL THEM ALL ABO

wait

>>8794773

Yeah, nobody cared until they could blame Bush for everything. It's not that the Army Corps of Engineers had been corrupt and incompetent for the past 40 fucking years, it was all "Heckuva job, Brownie" and "George Bush doesn't care about black people."

In other news, bad things happen in the south and elites in the northeast and west coast shrug.

You know, the oil spill took a while to be big news, and even after it became big news (due to being a huge, rare, and obvious fuckup), the media mostly has been saying "oh, it sucks, but we need the oil".

If EITHER of these things - massive, deadly flooding or a major oil spill - had happened in the Northeast or West Coast, the media would be having a major hissy fit. HUGE hissy fit.

Face it, outside of the south nobody cares about people in the south. Kanye West was wrong, it wasn't because they were black, it was because they were in the south.

>Major town in the United States is almost completely covered by water in a flash flood, killing dozens of people and causing billions of dollars worth of damage in the worst non-hurricane event in modern times.

Does this mean some whitebread rock musician gets to appear on television and say "Barack Obama doesn't care about white people"?

>>8794912

It's Nashville. It'd have to be some fuckhead like Tim McGraw.

>>8794940

Yeah, that's what I was driving at. Toby Keith also fits the bill.

>>8794966
Taylor Swift already has you faggots beat, she donated 500k to relief efforts and is talking shit.
