While one can't really "blame" Carnival for this one it does make you wonder. Heavy winds snapping mooring lines is just a freak of nature but ironic nonetheless. Having worked in TV news back in the day I can agree. The media will jump on a story that will gain attention. The trials and tribulations of the Triumph was hard news at the time of the ill fated cruise. This new wrinkle is just a sidebar story that does bear reporting if for no other reason the irony of the whole thing. In this case the reporting I have seen was responsible in my opinion.The reporting that bugs me is when the media reports about nurovirus on a ship. I don't even remember which ship it was but lately there was "big" news about a hundred odd passengers and a few crew getting sick on a ship. I did the math, it was less than 3.5% of the people on board. At the same time my company had four agents out one one day with the flu, almost 19%. Channel two didn't show up at my office that day.
