Is it just me or is the panic de’jour getting out of hand
So, the top headline of my RSS feeds reads:
“Japan quake causes nuke plant leak, fire”
Which to me sounds pretty ominous. After all, wouldn’t a leak and a fire at a nuclear power plant be a really bad thing? Well, apparently that is what the media wanted us to feel, because the truth was much less ominous than the headlines…
Apparently the leak released one-billionth the legal limit of radioactive material and the fire was actually a transformer that started on fire - not part of the reactor assembly.
I know we all know that the media bias is out of control and that they thrive on panic… But at times like this it seems that they take it way too far.
