It does, which is just absolutely disgraceful. Also, there was only token media attention covering the Christchurch quake. Not sensational enough for the newsies to be bothered with.

I guess on the scale of things, a couple of hundred people dying in Chch isn't a big deal in global news, but it should be especially in the UK because of our affiliation to the "Mother Land".
A whole city in ruins and we got fobbed off a little bit. But it's cool. I feel very sorry for Japan and the many people that have died, a wonderful country and race.
