As for the quake near New Zealand, nothing really happened, and no one was
apparently hurt.

You and your 'friends' really need to learn how to pay attention.

The first step is the hardest...

Mock me, friend. The coverage they are going to give this is the
classic revelling in carnage, after the fact. The pre-strike coverage is
what they avoided. Darren

Shortwave and AM radio are my primary sources for information. Both
venues had adequate coverage. The mainstream press, consisting of
newsprint and television, ignored this, at least initially. What do I
believe their professional obligation is? I think one of the largest
quakes in the last century is newsworthy. That's all. I expect them to
do their job. Darren


You gotta give Dan Blather and CBS time to forge some documents to prove
that this was all Bush's doings.

Study your geography. There were two quakes, one on the southeast of
Australia that was felt in Tasmania, and then another a couple of
days later on the other side of that continent.
