I think its because its not the end. There was another earthquake earlier wasnt there? Not as strong though.
I think that its not over yet. Also its the easiest thing to follow at the moment, nothing else is happening in the news, and this is by far the biggest news. And because its doing some good, people are donating money from ALL countries, adverts on Italian channels have numbers come up to donate money to Haiti and im sure they are doing this everywhere else. Celebs are also donating money. |

The Guardian: "Haiti earthquake death toll may be 100 000"
The Telegraph: "Haiti earthquake: death toll may hit 200 000" Yahoo! News: "Haiti quake toll tops 200 000" Daily Mail: "Penelope Cruz pictured frolicking with Javier Bardem" The Daily Mail, denying the existence of black people since 1896. |
they had another earthquake today :shocked:

YOu can easily watch other things. If youre bored about people talking about Haiti, just flip the channel to something else. The digital age, allows us to do that. Switch off if something is not interesting. There is the Tennis open 24/7, there are other news channels, and Tivo, and all the different other alternatives nowadays. I can easily go online and watch any news that I deem worthy of me watching it. There are always Worldwide impacting events, that will always be bombarded in the news! (Haiti earthquake. (911, london attack, Hurricane Katrina, etc...)
If a lot of people in this world, consider, this, the most newsworthy event, even a month after the fact, I dont see whats the problem. NOt very difficult to not bother. Personally, nothing on TV can ever get me bored these days. I am only subected to it, if I so choose to be. |

The argument that it dominates the news and you get bored of it; well there's other sources and news stories still going on. Just because you're too lazy to go beyond whatever's "bonged" into you by ITN at 10 doesn't mean it's right for you to get bored.
Tragic lack of compassion, really. If you're bored of it, a) turn off and b) shame on you. |
Or it's like Hundreds of thousands of people have died and you need to be more compassionate. :/

I hope nobody is offended by the joke, I tried to lighten the mood. And i've donated so i'm allowed to make jokes. (In my own twisted logic)

The news is a television show like any other and is produced as such, not as an accurate importance-o-scope to your own personal life. Disaster brings in the ratings. If your bored try online poker or something.
