Media Cries "THE SKY IS FALLING!!!"

   

 
The other night I watched a news report from the east coast where a reporter took shelter from hurricane Irene standing in a corner next to a building.  As he reported how bad things were and how he was lucky to have shelter, the cameraman caught site of a man in the background walking his dog down the street.  Before the reporter could complete his report, another man calmly road by on a bicycle.

As a small child I remember the story of Chicken Little who ran around shouting "The Sky is Falling...The Sky is Falling!!"

Then there was the story about the little boy crying "Wolf" until nobody believed him anymore.

I guess the media is suffering from a bad economy as well as everyone else in America (except of course for the Obama family on vacation).  The media is using the Irene crisis to increase their ratings and business.

The media and the government should save their "wolf!" warnings for real emergencies instead of for exaggerations such as Irene, and Global Warming.
