The media has a sure fire formula to make money. Overstate every threat, and get viewers to lock in to information flowing from the media which could be life or death for people in the general area of a hurricane. I watched Brian Williams say nothing for an hour. He repeated himself, gave no relevant information as utter incompetence in field reporting showed boats bobbing in a river ten miles from the ocean. People listened and there was mass evacuation based on utter uncertainty as to the path of the hurricane, yet media acts like they have projections which they ALWAYS over state. They profit, and the next killer hurricane will kill more because people tire of the cry of wolf.
