Comment on Lies, pseudoscience and “journalism” in Japan’s current nuclear situation by Veronica

Hi Tak
Firstly, my sympathies to you and the people of Japan, who have been tested in the last few weeks. Secondly, my congratulations on your “rant”. I wondered what happened to the inspiring stories of rescue and survival, which should have taken precedence over the so-called nuclear crisis, since that was the human story. It was really hard to find the factual amid the exaggerated. One knows that the news was sensationalized, but not where or how. I’m glad you’ve shown us that we need perspective. Fear-mongering is what sells newspapers and TV time, apparently.
Take care!
Veronica

Good points, Tak. Although I have never had much faith in the big news networks (American in particular), I’m happy to say I’ve been getting plenty of science via @boingboing, and lots of facts (in English) via @YokosoNews
