I know its sad but its getting a bit repetitive now, every day all over the news all we're seeing is an earthquake where people have died and people are still being dragged out. Theres only so many ways they can phrase it but now its just like "ok we get the message".

BB_Eye · 20-01-2010, 12:37 PM

Well, it is humanitarian disaster. It's not exactly a sighting of Maddy from some random Belgian printed on the front of NOTW.

If you're talking about compassion fatigue then I guess I can see where you're coming from. I think we get used to hearing about a lot of people dying in dirt poor parts of the world like a forensic examiner gets used to the sight dead murder victims everyday.

Sorry if that sounds a bit dark, but I hope you get my meaning.

Yeah I get what you're saying, but this is the 7th or 8th day where its dominated the news and takes up at least 15 minutes of a 25 minute bulletin. I mean fair enough for the first 2-3 days but after that it gets very repetitive and loses impact

A lot of people will probably be "burying bad news" at this time. I bet the next issue of Private Eye will be a corker.

No doubt a channel 4 doc about it as well.

Tom4784 · 20-01-2010, 12:49 PM

It's because it's an easy narrative for the papers and news to follow, why look for other news when you can take up a few pages or minutes with new developements each day? It's a tragedy though and the media spotlight is doing more good then harm though.

A second earthquake occured today, so, I think it needs the space in the media, its better than hearing about Jordan and her tits again anyway

Jack_ · 20-01-2010, 03:51 PM

The Big Freeze > Haiti

Crimson Dynamo · 20-01-2010, 03:54 PM

All the time

all you need to pick up a newspaper and you see them

MrGaryy · 20-01-2010, 04:01 PM

I don;t think any of us really have the right to be bored of hearing of a hugely tragic catastrophe to be honest...

ILoveTRW · 20-01-2010, 04:04 PM

the Chinese one that killed roughly the same amount of people 2 years ago never got this much attention

M X · 20-01-2010, 04:11 PM

tbh, people are dying, and the ones that aren't, most of their family has.
it's not hard for it to be on the news everyday. it dosen't affect you.
think about them.

Patrick · 20-01-2010, 04:12 PM

Wanna know what is so big about it?

This Earthquake is bigger than the China one because Haiti was bad BEFORE the quake, poverty was everywhere, now the country is actually destroyed, there is nothing left, China is perfectly fine

eye sea · 20-01-2010, 04:33 PM

Bored???

How bizarre.

Depends what you watch.

The French having a Go a the Yanks
is great.

And a New thing in the Press today
is that place has alot of child trafficking
so not anyone should take a child.

The Only boring thing (hit the mute)
is when One Eyed Scottish Brown talks about it.

Stacey. · 20-01-2010, 04:37 PM

yeah it is really.

Patrick, use that small amount of Grey Matter that's SUPPOSEDLY meant to reside within your head before you speak in future.

Well what they keep saying is what we already know about it, and when some of us want to know what else is going on in the world we can't because every channel you put on is about Haiti. Yes its a disaster (not a catastrophe) but its time to get over it and move on. Its happened, we know pretty much all there is to know, is there any reason for them to keep dedicating so much air time to it? For example I watched todays ITV News at 1.30 and the whole thing was about Haiti ... a week on, apart from a bit at the end on Prince William that was pointless. Theres no need for it anymore.
