60 Minutes on coal ash – muted outrage, lots of smiles and nods
On December 7, 2014, 60 Minutes, the venerable investigative reporting television show that has been on the air since 1968, aired a segment about Duke Energy’s Dan River coal ash spill, which occurred on February 2, 2014.

It’s so telling how the U.S. mass media virtually weds any mentions of “tsunami” with “nuclear accident” in one jittery breath regarding Japan. You really have to wonder whether these “pros” are just lazy in discriminating different events or trying to press a subtle point.

I see the EQ today in Japan brought the radiation fear junkies out in full force in the comments sections of many news sites. Its been since Sandy they had their last media induced worry fix.
I have started seeing people referring to the Tsunami event as Fukushima. As in, “Since Fukushima, manufacturing in (insert non-reactor impacted town) has been destroyed.” It really irks me…
