The male African elephant stands about 10-13 feet tall and weighs around 4.5 tonnes.  No matter how hard you tried, it would be difficult to ignore one if it were standing near you.  Unless, you are involved in the American media.

One week ago today, 840 tonnes of crystal meth making precursors were seized in Mexico.  That's enough tonnage to make 350 million doses of meth with a street value around $28 billion--or a herd of 187 elephants.  The story originated by Reuters, was picked up world wide...but only a handful of American media outlets ran the story.

I suppose they figured it was of little interest to the American people--which is odd since virtually all of this meth would have stampeded over the southern boarder into the United States.

It appears the American media is unwilling to keep us informed about the issues that truly impact the people.  It may be political bias or a fear of back-lash from the truth.  But good journalism is not safe, it's investigative and informative.

Plain & Simple:   Without the facts, we can't make informed decision about important issues--in this case boarder security and drug enforcement.    To ignore one elephant is difficult at best.  To ignore an entire heard, while it poises itself to stamped America, is unforgivable.  What else are you not telling us?  In my business, such practices would be considered malpractice.
