MAYBE I MADE TOO MUCH OF THIS. OR IS IT A CONSPIRACY?
External link:
They did wind up taping Letterman last night, after all, but La Boheme had to cancel its Matinee yesterday. Maybe the explosion yesterday in Times Square was really no big deal. There was not one word about this on the news as far as I could tell, except for playbill.com announcing the La Boheme cancelling. Is that because a manhole cover being blown off a manhole in a loud explosion in the most obvious terrorist target in the country is really no big deal at all? Or is it some sinister media conspiricy to avoid telling people about various incidents that probably are not, but then again may be, related to terrorism, since that will be bad for tourism, and people's emotional well-being?
In a world where terrorism was not even a possibility, wouldn't an explosion in Times Square resulting in minor injuries and blocking traffic for hours get at least a quick mention on the news? Doesn't the fact that Times Square is an obvious terrorist target make such an explosion more, rather than less, newsworthy? All I know is that when I told people about what had happenned, every one of them thought it was a pretty big deal, and every one of them was shocked not to have heard about it on at least the local news. I don't know what to think, but I'm certainly not comforted by the media silence.
