Priorities

There appear to be two main stories today :
- Tsunamis kill at least 90 people in Pacific
- The Sun newspaper changes allegiance from Labour to Conservative
Yet every media outlet I’ve seen today has those stories in the opposite order, and that annoys me.
Somehow, UK politics appear to have taken precedence over (at least) 90 people being killed.
The tsunami story jumped up the Times website rather sharply when they discovered that there might, shock horror, be a *British* person among the victims.
Yeah – I notice the BBC has done a similar thing.
Fuckers.
