Does it annoy you how the news makes it seem like ALL of Japan was hit by last month's disaster?

Question:

When it was mainly Touhoku? I am not trying to down play the situation but it wasn't ALL of Japan people...

Answer:

I totally agree!!

I want to see maps of the affected areas, but TV news only showed the same images of devastation over and over, and then speculated on white MIGHT happen.

I mentioned to a conservative friend of mine that I wanted more information so we could more fully understand the total situation in Japan. He thought the idea was stupid.

Detail: I want to see the density, land use, and demographics of the affected areas, comparing those areas with other areas of Japan. What portion of Japan is close to sea level? How many people live in these areas? Where are the main economic areas of Japan, and how do they compare to the affected areas? What percentage of economic activity was damaged or slowed in the wake of the earthquake and tsunami? Where have the survivors gone? What impact is the new population distribution having on Japan.

There is so much interesting info, but instead we see the same images over and over, and the same commentary over and over.
