This entire issue is ridiculous, and points more to *extremely* poor
reporting than anything else. IMO none of this thread was news worthy, at
least not so much as it should have been placed on Reuters.
This type of sensationalism and showmanship however is becoming staple
fare of late. The upside is that all this Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt will
keep the majority of us employed for an awfully long time. The downside is
that it clouds the real issues out there which present real and legitimate
threats.
Bleh, well I suppose I am preaching to the choir here, but it's
frustrating to see this nonsense make press either way.
