What chaps my butt is this attitude by the media.
What, this disaster is not disastrous enough for ratings?
The media has to somehow make this "worse" than it is?
Is the public so dense that they need this sensationalist reporting to keep their interest in this disaster?
Hey News Media, What is happening in Japan is what we called in Nuke school as a "bad thing". Like really bad,. Totally bad. I mean not bad enough to preempt American Idol, but really really bad. There is no need to embellish it.
I wonder if the news media is so used to embellishing news stories that they can't help themselves. Do they know they are reporting misleading information? Do they care?
