Venting: Sunken oil tanker
Like the subject says, I am venting here!
By now I am sure all of you have heard about the oil tanker that went down off the coast of Spain and that carries twice as much as Exxon Valdez.
And... We all know how terrible a disaster this could be.
But... why does the friggin' media have to push the negative??? Why can't they stress the fact that the tanks are still in tact and that there is a possibility that the oil may solidify and not leak out?
I know they mention that, after they go on and on and on and on about how this could be so much worse than last time...
As I said, we all know that! Tell us what we don't know. Like, what can they do now, before the tanks leak, to prevent the disaster??? Or, what is the real probability they won't leak???
Why does the media always have to stress the negative!
This is why I don't watch the news any longer. Well, most of the time!
Don't get me wrong, I like to be informed but, a lot of the stuff is down right depressing and a lot isn't even what I would call news!
Like... did we really need the front page of the newspapers showing Michael Jackson holding his child out the window on the 4th story?
Yes... this is a bad thing but... it is NOT news! I am sure there are other things going on we should know about!!!
Well... thanks or listening!
