Why do CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News not broadcast 24-7 fire coverage in the same way they do hurricanes? Why isn't Anderson Cooper in a windbreaker walking around the remains of Paradise, CA? I think it's East Coast bias, but please convince me otherwise. (Don't be annoying, though!)

John Mulaney also dropped Dave Becky, the manager villain of the Louis CK story, switching to someone else at 3 Arts. Other than Pamela Adlon, he's (AFAIK) the only high-profile comedian to do so. (Please do tell me if I'm wrong! Maybe there was a VERY QUIET exodus I didn't see.)
