Quit watching "the news" years ago, but we've got granddad living with us now so I have to listen to the garbage as I pass through the room. Last night on CBS news there was a heart stopping item on the lead poisoned baby food. The reporters could not contain their angst, their HORROR, OH NO! Of course no mention of lead concentrations in mg/liter or any scientifically relevant facts (I do health based risk assessments in my work). I lost it for a second and screamed "what about the poison they are injecting into infants' arms that can subvert their cellular replicating chemistry and immune response for life?" as well as some other things. I had to relegate myself to the porch for a bit.

John, if I went out to the porch every time I found myself yelling at a "news" report I'd be at risk of freezing to death.
