Of course, this scare hit all the major news outlets; but, scabies, etc. being imported to your home town is not worthy of mention. Neither are dead children washing up on the shores of the Rio Grande.
You have a valid point. Major news outlets pick up on an extremely rare occurrence, yet ignore the monster items staring at us each day. There is no clear cut reporting in these times. Just rumor-mongering and scare tactics. And avoidance of reporting life-threatening diseases spread by illegal immigrants being scattered into our communities courtesy of our own government.
