why the hell is it

that there is more coverage of the peanut butter scare in Australia and Britain than there is here in the states?

I heard about the mayor on WTOP and the next morning on Baltimore's Fox channel (hey, it's always got the weather up - handy for when getting the kids going). But she was indicted a week before the plane crash... and there *were* local people on the plane (not to mention it's impressive the pilot managed to miss the bridge(s), land in one piece, and that *everyone* got out).

Until more happens about the mayor, as long as she's claiming innocence, no new charges are brought up, or she goes to trial, it's a "non-story" as there's nothing new to add.

(then again, heck, I grew up outside of Philly, and you *rarely* heard the stories on the news that you *knew* should be out there, considering several of the mayors' connections)
