The media is crazy.

I have told you of the great fires in my country. There is a place, very close to Viña del Mar, where the fire consumed over 100 houses. And the rest are not in very good shape. The people are now in shelters and help is needed. Help has been received and there are places that receive non perishable food, diapers and drinking water. That sound awesome. But there is one channel that decided to become Santas and have started a campaign to give bikes and tricycles to the children. And I ask myself, where will they place it? Where will they receive it? Where will they take it? I can understand that between everyone, people can fix a good Christmas dinner. And maybe tiny toys (one for each) to the smaller children. But bycicles? In this moment they don´t even have a road to play. Everything around is ashes and mud. And it will be like that for some time. But the media like to look as if they were supermen (and women). They like to show off. Sometimes, people answer back when they are asking stupid questions to the people who have lost all except their minds. Today, on air, a reporter asked one of the people who had lost it all whether he thought that helpers should bring shovels. The man answered between four letter words if he thought they´d get the ashes with bare hands. The reporter had to back away. Ir served him for being stupid! It is a shame that reporters don´t learn anything before they work on TV. Most are hired because they have good looks. See you later, friends.
