They apparently have cosmetic flaws, which makes me guess that they were dinged/scratched when the earthquake hit Tokyo. I am sure there are Tokais similarly discounted. Sounds like taking advantage of the situation, but the local economy needs some consumer activity as people are afraid to go out and spend money.

Oh there's plenty of hyperbole from ALL media sources and I think that the media in general is a big part of what's wrong with the world today. No such thing as objective news coverage anymore - in print, radio or TV

You got that right chief! The sooner that despicable ***** Murdoch drops dead the better. Hopefully the empire will fall apart after he's gone. :lol:
The doco I saw was on the ABC (tax payer funded public TV) and they're not too bad usually. They break a lot of stories that people like Murdoch etc would prefer to sweep under the carpet. You know, stuff about Governments covering stuff up, corporations cutting corners to make more money except people died, or the environment was massively polluted, or loads of small investors lost their houses. It's the only channel over here where you'll get an in depth examination of things like that.

Nobody's information is certain at this point. What appears to be true is that there have been two occasions when the small crew working on the reactors has been forced to leave due to extreme radiation.
Time will tell.

I agree. When I said "western media", I was referring to mass media outside of Japan. For some reason, Europeans seem to exaggerate the situation more than anyone else. On the other hand, the Japanese government and TEPCO are being extremely conservative with cautions and release of information. I don't know who to listen to
