As I said before, there is a very definite need for information. I've never said otherwise. I guess I wasn't clear enough. Here is what I wrote:

Your right, it IS important that information is given, and given in a timely fashion so people can take the proper precautions BEFORE there is loss of human life. And that IS being done. It just doesn't need to be done in a histrionic fashion the way much of Big Media is doing.

I only object to the histrionics. Repeat the facts over and over. Be sure everyone gets the information they need. Just leave out the monster stories. I'm still hearing that all of Japan is radioactive... Facts are fine. Media foolishness to raise ratings is another.
