  7.  @StatusCoup    Hi Jordan! I'm extremely sorry to hear that Jordan. Of course I have very little faith in corporate media but I did think perhaps 60 MINUTES would at least give it a small segment. I mean after all there are thousands of innocent victims here and I thought maybe they had a LITTLE bit of journalistic integrity left in them, because even recently they have seemed to cover SOME stories that weren't 100% echo chamber-y from the Pentagon or Big Corporate. I'm curious if you at all expected them to give you an honest hearing and consideration of your findings, and were you disappointed when they rejected it? Did they give you any specific reason besides a generic form answer why they rejected the story from you? Maybe I naively have too much respect for them, but like I said they seem like they're still trying at least a little to be genuine journalists, at least that's my take so far, so I'm sort of holding out on forming too harsh of judgment of them yet. I hope they understand that by not profiling this issue, they're turning their back on tens of thousands of desperately poor and significantly suffering people that have so far been betrayed by anyone and everyone else in a position to do anything moral regarding the situation, and they (60M) literally could be the ONLY reason why something changes for the better for them, because they still have a positive reputation in the eyes of many, and I'm not a media insider - I don't know anything about this I'm just a layperson, but they still seem to reach a large audience. In short just by nearly talking about it much less giving it the full in depth 60 Minutes treatment, they could have made a huge impact. But I guess they just didn't care. They could have saved lives. I think it's pretty sad that they found it unworthy to even give it some truncated coverage to. I mean who TF are they trying to protect even??? Such a shame there are no mainstream media outlets to turn to to expose crimes against common people in this country. I still can't get over how local newspapers in Flint didn't cover this??! Who the fuck are they owned by?!? I live in San Diego and you can believe that there are plenty of issues here, but I have to believe that if anything even remotely like this happened here, which I don't think it would, but if it did, I have to believe that the Union-Tribune would be exploding with sensational coverage and so would our local KPBS station. Damn man I hope things get better in the future. We've got local press and local city leadership that is in it together to just what- throw people down a ditch??????? Of course the city councils are corrupt af but I guess I was naive to think that the local papers in most areas would want to give an unflinching reporting of any local shenanigans because, hell I don't know, they care about their community?????
