It sounds more like the media machine spreading fear for sensationalism sake. You know, get all them little soccer mom's all spun up over bs we've been exposed to for 200 years. But hell, the ratings are good this week!!!
You're right about the media machine. We are now in November sweeps, a period where TV news outlets run sensational stories (how a trampoline can kill/5 things you should know about laundry detergent, etc) to gain the most viewers. Why? Because the number of viewers during sweeps is used to set the advertising rates for the next few months. They do sweeps in May and Nov. and there may be one more in July. You run sentional stories like this....and you're bound to get more viewers. This has been a recurring story in the news for at least the past 2 years.
