California Road Slides Into Ocean After Storm

You guys are so far behind on the news.

The OP is from Edinburgh.

I don't see any reason to be rude to him/her.

Not far behind. I have simply seen it too many times to say "Oh Wow! look at that!"

I was not being rude to him/her but the media outlets in the UK that must have been short of stories that day.

Not really.

News is about sensationalism. With pics this is a good story to sensationalize.

Like the Watt's riots - - which was very isolated - - my relatives in Ohio reading sensationalized news feared for our lives - - as they thought all of the Los Angeles area was under siege.

The OP's reaction is justified as the only knowledge to him/her is what the news presented.

Your post addressed "the guys" being at fault - - not the media for sensationalizing.
