Sitting here in Hervey Bay I watched this mornings channel 9 brekkie show so see that there are gale force winds and torrential rain here. Live broadcasting from Urangan,
Bugger, my windows are faulty, all I see is maybe 15-20 knot winds which are quite normal and the odd shower. But there are huge waves crashing over the road on TV. Hang on, that looks like Yepoon, not here. Aren't our waves crashy enough? Oh look, I can't even seen them, bloody windows are still faulty. Nup not the windows, I went outside into the back yard and surprise surprise no rain and very average wind and I am on top of a hill. Maybe I am above it...... How can anyone ever believe anything these idiots broadcast, THEY JUST TELL LIES. |

Maybe the storm knows who you are and is in fear of its safety?

Most the commercial networks will exaggerate almost any situation, any take advantage of the coverage. Just think about it, the best thing that happened for 'Underbelly' was having it be banned it Victoria, Nine milked that for all it was worth.

Then yesterday apparently was the opposite, where they said the threat was gone, it was heading out to see yet was still very closer to Fraser
I wonder if they had Fifi on Sunrise with a firetruck behind her firing a water cannon at her head with a giant industrial fan making the water blow sideways.....as a "live cross" to ravaged coastline |

The media exaggerate everything, just to have something to say and fill airtime.And love disasters. They WANTED the cyclone to come inland.
Every live link to a MET bloke that said it was moving away from land, was asked 'but it could turn inland, couldn't it' |

the storm signed a deal with channel 7 . it's deliberately boycotting 9 . channel 9 in the meantime grabbed a free deal with a flyby wind off the coast of yepoon.

I feel your anguish. My wife turns TV on in the mornings "to watch the news" while we're having breakfast. Her chair faces the TV and mine faces the garden where I take in the purity of nature and shut out the manufactured BS spewing from the TV presenters. This was my view the other day |
