Watching the news all day (Krioma.net Blog)

Another day, not much done. Now that is not what I would normally say but well I am on holiday. A typical student does not describe me and I think this is the first day I have had just sitting around watching television whilst I play around on my laptop.

This has meant I have been watching all the stuff about the planes being cancelled and at one point BBC News 24 annouced that a guy had been arrested in Spain for carrying knives, obviously a valid reason but I would if normally this would have been mentioned, seems like it could be to up the hype about this whole terror threat. It is good they are doing everything they can to stop any attacks but I think the media are like usual going over the top with it.

I also found it funny that they went on about this person being arressted for about half an hour and then they only briefly mentioned the news that mistaken identities led to the Air France planes being cancelled. Would this be the FBI getting something wrong? Fair enough that they did and it is understandable that the planes should be cancelled but surely this should be as high in the news as the person being arrested? Again it seems like the media are stirring up things instead of calming it down like it would have been possible if they had said more about the Air France mistake.
