Rainy Monday

While I understand news TV’s role to provide regular updates of the goings-on here, would it be too much to ask for fresh visuals to go with it? Or at least clear supers saying that this is in fact footage from last week.

Instead we have seemingly understatement-of-the-year remarks of “don’t panic, but this is the scene…” over pictures of submerged buses.

So actually, things weren't as bad as last week's downpour. But you'd never see that on the news.

here's an idea, how about specific news updates about specific neighbourhoods? Sakinaka still coping with landslide aftermath; Kurla/Sion waiting for the water to recede. Too much to ask, i guess when one can get large-scale action station "reports from all over the city".
