Not one of the major cable networks are covering the gas insanity.
I have read on the internet as far north as Kentucky gas stations running out because of panic. Are the networks smart enough not to fuel the fire? I can't believe they are.

1. My local media is all over it - urging people not to buy into panic buying
And giving information on how to report gas gouging and other incidents to the government. As bad as it is getting here, I'm glad they are covering it because it is a major, major, issue.

2. Glad your local is covering the situation, nothing on the cable networks.

3. If I were a betting man, I would wager they don't want it out there because it highlights GOP
failures.

Surely not!

5. I certainly hope someone does - this is going to be disastrous
Not only in Texas, where its looking like a major catastrophe is upon us already, but across the country as well. This could stagger and shut down our economy very, very quickly. If I'm in NE Tennessee and the panic has reached a fevered pace where the fuel is running out and it may take as long as Monday before stations receive any new shipments of fuel (if at all), I can only imagine its going to be worse elsewhere.
