The media has now "cried wolf" once too often. The next time a big storm is headed for the coast, nobody will head for the Dome. And if it is really bad, more will die because of it.


not just the media....

governmental and quasi governmental (red cross) agencies as well

hyping the disaster beyond it's true scope drives dollar donations and citizen greater acceptance of excessive government spending

in other words the disaster du jour becomes a marketing tool (and scam, imo)
