My heart goes out to the families and friends who have lost loved ones in Samoa. The trajedy is almost too significant to comprehend. The mainstrem media coverage that I have seen has been sensitive and respectful.
Chris Carter's facebook updates have been particularly informative. Broad and immediate updates providing an insight that I would not have been able to gain through any other media.
His posts on twitter are utterly inane. "Saw utter devastation today", "I cried when I saw what happened" etc etc. His trip is a complete waste of taxpayers' money. It was basically a political stunt, but John Key has more than shut that down on TV on Sat night. Again no-one really wants to talk to the Labour Party as they cannot DO anything. Cater simply got in the way of relief efforts unless he helped out.
