El Nino means more rain in the Western US. So why not report on that as well.

Why did they just mention drought in Australia?

Yes, it is great news. If it is anything like the El Niño of the Winter of 1997/98, the High Sierra of California will get a ton of snow which is where most of California gets its water.
