I am soooo tired of seeing bird flu in the news. It is never ending, the same story twisted and turned, but not saying anything that we haven’t already heard repeatedly. If there was a new angle to the story, I could see reporting on it, but there is nothing really new to report.

Here’s an example. Today the Washington Post reports that “Bush Is Expected To Outline Antiflu Plan.” Wow, isn’t that hot news. Why not just wait with this “breaking” story until he actually does come up with a plan, and then tell us about it.

And here’s another beauty from News 24.com–”US gears up for super flu.” And just how are we gearing up? Are we doing anything more than we were last week, or last month? No, nada. If you read the article, it again is just a rehash of bird flu rhetoric, the stories that have been on instant replay for the past year.

I guess there’s this fear that if we miss a day of bird flu chatter, then the public might start to forget about it.
