Desperate Weather Reporting

It's been raining hard in Portugal the last few days. That's how it always is this time of year, but the news channels are trying to make it into some kind of catastrophe. The local CNN franchise has had about equal reporting on the situation in the Middle East and the rain we've been having, as if the two are about equally Earth shattering.

Making this all the more pathetic, CNN sent reporters out into the streets to report on the weather. But there wasn't any flooding of note anywhere to be seen, so the camera man zoomed in on a puddle next to the reporter instead.
