Why was all major networks covering "The Birth Certificate" instead of the Weather that took over 250 lives?

Went through the lineup on the TV last night trying to find coverage of the storms that destroyed half of Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee? Anderson Cooper covered 5 minutes, but only The Weather Channel, gave any attention to it. The final fatality total is expected to be over 400...none of the cable channels hesitate at covering a "Dog Rescue" out of a creek, or a car chase in LA.

Instead...they covered the Birther's...lol...and The Donald! Come on, who won that war? Forcing a sitting president to show a document, Trump smells like a rose.
