Felly sgrifennodd wafflycat remove celebrities and change caps to obvious:
On the Radio Four news at seven, the 'm' word was used, just after the
newsreader said 12 people were injured, 3 seriously and hundreds of
buildings were damaged. Yet, he then immediately referred to the
'mini-tornado' Perhaps if such a mini-tornado hit Broadcasting House, they
may change their viewpoint ;-)

It's odd, isn't it, that we usually complain about the media using terms
which over-exaggerate the severity of the weather ("drought", "severe cold
snap", "blizzard" etc). And now here we are complaining that they are doing
the opposite!
