News broadcasts constantly have scrolls and/or flashing signs during Television News Shows that alert us to the fact that what we are being subjected to is extremely important.
The screen is alive with the words “Breaking News!” or we see “News Alert!” flashing in the lower right hand corner of the screen as they shout at us the momentous details of what we ought to be worried about at this very moment.
Do our schools not teach the story about The Boy Who Cried Wolf any longer?
I knew for certain that all this hysteria has gone too far last night as I was watching the Weather Report. There was my Weatherman telling me I ought not to go outside because of the Extreme Drizzle that was currently descending upon us all.
Would I kid u?

Thanks SmartFella and keep up the good work and please watch out for that extreme drizzle....
I have found that the National Weather Channel is the most frequent abuser of warnings but I guess if you have to fillup 24 hours every day with nothing but weather you have to hype everything just to stay awake.
