Costs rise in 'worst industrial disaster'
The US media seems to be portraying this as a 'nothing to see here, move along'.
There also seems to be a correlation between this disaster and the 35% increased infant mortality rate seen along the west coast. |
Really? My take was that the US media seems hell bent on portraying this as worse than getting bombed. That kind of alarmist reporting of infant mortality for example is not something that says "rational and empirical" to me. Chernobyl was putting out short-term lethal amounts of radiation, if this is as bad or worse wheres the evidence?
