Media Overexagration!!
 
With todays Cyclone in Nth Queensland being a "Monster" can the media please tone it down a bit on the sensational reporting?
Last night/this morning around 0100 ch10,a breathless female reporting of at "Least 300 dead expected" and the Defence Force will be locating deceased,dead,victims,unfortunates etc.
Please.
Ch 7 this morning just after 0700,live cross to the devasted city,too bad all the camera could find was 1-YES-1 fallen tree,to make Kochie look even more stupid,the reporter "Found"survivors in a house,it was pathetic and cringeworthy on questions asked"How did you survive?" a young female said she slept through it:rofl::rofl:
And Ch10 after midnight reported on--------------
Thorpy is returning to the pool--------More news on this breaking story:eek::eek:

Now they are pushing the "LOOTING EVERYWHERE"angle.
As such as Victorias fires with "ALL FIRES STARTED BY ARSONISTS!"
1 person charged-not convicted,how many Looting chargeshave been laid-if any???
Grow up Australian Media,just grow up and report the truth.

They are just as bad if not worse in the UK and we know it :rofl:
Its their job to sensationalise things or people wouldn't buy newspapers watch the news etc.............. do you buy news papers^^^^^^^^^^^^^:rofl: I know i don't.

My family and friends were in tatters after reporters over there putting the picture of Yasi over the size of Britain so it had been swallowed up and spat out a few times over :rofl: way to go they thought i was doomed although posts on FB did nothing to rasure them i was still alive, think they thought i must have been on a trip to Oz not Australia to visit Dorothy........

If they reported nothing but flat facts no one would be interested unfortunately that is human nature
