But then, since when have the bobbing heads reported unbiased non opinionated news stories? How many times have we heard "This is a dangerous situation, nobody should be out right now blah blah blah..." and they are standing in the blowing wind and rain!
Exactly , they are going for the "best or most exciting picture" not necessarily the most accurate one

So so so true. I have had some near misses with hurricanes nothing horrrible horrible, just a bit scary. But i have friends and family calling me from out of state as though we were on deaths door. Why? Bcuz of the news
Yep. Same here. I should be getting a phone call shortly from some relative up north who suddenly realizes that their neice/cousin/sister/ Jenny is in some horrible danger and they are offering refuge. Kind thoughts, yes....but uh, a little late? Awhhh well.
Then there are the email pics of the hurricane as it is coming ashore. Those that have lived through one, know they do not look like a big tornado.However, it doesn't stop the email rumor/spam mill. Hmmmm.. a thought here. Do you think that because of the relentless satellite pics of the hurricane spinning and churning along that the next logical thought would be that a hurricane is like a big tornado? Hmm. Yes, we who have lived through these monsters know different, however those that are enlightened only via TV have a skewed view? Gee, could this possibly be true for other world events?

It is more likely there are legitimate advertising dollars going on and the stations want to keep those dollars coming in.howarde:
I was going to get some plywood from Home Depot, but LeisurePro had it a lot cheaper even with shipping. I'm just worried that there's no warranty on it.
Tom Winters:
That's only on the plywood that comes with instructions in Japanese... The other plywood is covered by Georgia Pacific.
On the contrary, my father in law works for Lowes and he was interviewed and ON the news just a few nights ago:
