We think it's bad enough that all the news networks send their reporters and anchors to be in the middle of disasters. Now I just heard that one (maybe more) of the local stations in Seattle is sending two people to Japan. It's just not right that they go over there and take up precious resources. I don't care about "up close and personal" views of the earthquake/tsunami. One of them is a sports anchor, for goodness sakes!
If I were younger, I might understand this but I'm an old broad without a fancy cell phone, twitter, etc. I don't believe I need to know everything about everything every minute of the day. Guess I'm just an old grump!!
