The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Yes it is quite apparent you haven't watched in a long time. Sometimes it's more about what they don't report. Just one example.

"A new study found that mainstream news networks have largely avoided the continuing crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border despite new footage revealing the crisis is not losing steam.

A DHS source recently told Fox News that there were 208,887 encounters in August, only a 2% drop over more than 212,000 encounters in July.

But the crisis was noticeably absent from the airwaves on the Big Three networks. Broadcast evening news coverage in August totaled just 6 minutes, 28 seconds on NBC, CBS and ABC during the month of August, according to a NewsBusters study. "


And it's not just Border Crisis that gets scant coverage on the big three
