Tv moon 'news'!

Watching the tv news re the terrible earthquake in Japan, the presenter said that there would be unusually high tides owing to: 'The full moon'. Surely they should have clarified and stated that it is owing to the moon being at Apogee, and its closest appraoch to earth for some 18 years!
