Taking a cue from the people at FAIR (Fairness and Accuracy and Reporting) in the USA.
http://www.fair.org/index.php , I decided this very day (Saturday December 27, 2008) to look at another story neglected by both most of the mainstream news media sources in North America and in Europe.
DEMOCRACY NOW radio had reported on Wednesday that the U.S. press was failing to discuss or really look into the largest sludge spill in U.S. history. It had occurred on Monday in Tennessee.

I decided to look up online whether many other reports on this toxic ash catastrophe story were to be found on American websites. I found many such stories—but most were the same few stories which had been linked to environmental blogs.
