I didn't know Hugo Chavez was dead until just now, from a DU thread.

Says something about the MSM, doesn't it?

It has been front page, center on CNN, MSNBC, NBC News, NPR/PBS, BBC for the past 18 hours. The mainstream wasn't exactly sleeping on this one. Maybe you forgot to check the news since yesterday.

Radio, TV, online, etc. It would have been hard to miss. You must have been reading/watching/listening to stuff that was produced before the announcement.

But I was told on DU it was reckless to learn about it. So I forgot. Then I learned about it again. Then I was reminded again that I was to forget about it.

Finally stuck this time.
