Re: Media Bias
Another in the faux hyper fearmongering style:
HEADLINE: Here's what would happen if North Korea hit the US with an EMP that could take out 90% of the population First 3 bolded points in article: Experts recently told Congress that a North Korean electromagnetic-pulse attack on the US could wipe out 90% of the population. EMP attacks are unproven, and the academic community finds this claim ridiculous. Even if North Korea did pull off the attack, it wouldn't hurt the US's nuclear systems that are hardened against EMPs _______ I don't know how many articles since Trump was elected have had these Armageddon kind of tones, especially around NK, but clearly most if not all are sensationalism at its worst. And the underlying intent is to create a tone of fear that subverts the national dialogue. It is really pathetic |
