I can't tell you how many times already I have seen totally inaccurate reports from western media about what has happened here. Don't trust all you see in the western media. And that goes for some of the major ones like CNN and BBC. I have seen just today them reporting totally wrong data on a supposed earthquake in Nagano which never actually happened. I'd be trusting more what you hear in the media here than I would from most of these foreign news outlets many of which base their stories on little more than speculation and love nothing more than to sensationalise everything to increase their sales.

I agree that western media has wet it's panties over the disaster, and I can the panels of "experts" on camera at CNN, FOX, BBC, etc. I love how the words "may" and "might" appear in nearly every sentence, as most people don't seem to understand that "may" means the same thing as "may not", just as "might" means the same thing as "might" not. Long lectures and endless discussions about what may or may not happen are complete nonsense.
As for the quake in Nagano, I felt a good shake at about 3:15 today, and I thought Fuji TV reported the quake as being centered in Nagano.
One of the good things about the 24 hour news coverage is that I don't have to see the retarded variety shows with the bizarrely dressed "celebrities" doing the same thing night after night. In comparison I almost miss the western "shock journalism" programs.
