But on a slightly different note this one should be big enough.

In the Swedish media they now talk about 30,000 dead in Pakistan and those media used to be pretty well informed.


Its really quite amazing to see how you all think. Its very much more noticeable when you post to each other. Its a like a gear slips its track and then goes into an alternative, almost estoeric tangent that means little to the rest of us. No wonder we can't get along.

Almost every American media reporting on the earthquake yesterday stated that the initial death toll was around 1800 but was expected to go much higher. Even Pakistan was reporting the same figure yesterday. So if the Swedish press was saying a figure much higher than that, they were ahead of even the country suffering from the quake and their numbers would appear to be suspect.

As for the US media, its only downfall for the past 5 years has been its soft approach to Bush. The only good thing coming from Katrina is that that seems to have changed.
