Coverage

It irks me the way you can almost see the media rubbing their hands together with glee about the floods. News fodder for weeks.

And also the one upping rubbish: 'channel such and such, the ONLY dependable news source for the floods'.

I was watching Channel 7 last night, and the self promotion almost outweighed the actual coverage itself. "Our Channel 7 crew were first on the scene when.... and overhead the Channel 7 chopper exclusively saw... Channel 7 this, Channel 7 that.

Who cares.

The locals are also getting sick of sightseers. I've heard one put up a sign, along the lines of, Don't just gawk, come and help.
