what's happening in Florida? Has the media become lazy??? And what about Mississippi?
Many days ago we had all these news reports about oil 10-20 miles off Florida coasts. And the Gov. of Miss. was bitching how the media has hurt them.

What's going on? Has the oil just stopped in it's tracks or is the media losing interest in reporting on newly oiled places.

Newly oiled places is news.

Am i missing it?

1. You're not supposed to anticipate this sort of thing.
You must be a hater or a doom and gloomer.
