News outlets cry wolf

After 72 hours of uninterrupted coverage, Irene has been blamed for nine deaths. One of those was a traffic accident. One was a heart attack. Basically, if anybody died within 50 miles of that hurricane, even people on their death beds before it passed, their death is being blamed on the hurricane.

What a travesty. This coverage would be embarrassing if it wasn't so deadly. The boy who cried wolf would be embarrassed at the fear-mongering we saw over the last few days. According to Foxnews, 40,000 Americans die on government's carnage factories called highways. That's a 109 people a day. So the government crooks and their media propagandists have spent days pushing people out of their homes because of a minor hurricane into the daily highway massacre in the US. How many people died because the government and their media mouthpieces drove them out of their homes onto the government's carnage factories? We'll never know. But, given the statistics, we know darn good and well it was more people than the people who died by staying home and riding out the hurricane.

By the way, 200,000 Americans die from medical misadventure in the government-controlled medical establishment each year. That's 5,479 per day. It's far more likely you will die for no good reason at the hospital than on the highway, and its far more likely you will die on the highway than in hurricane. But government's propagandists show us government agents 24-7 for 72 hours to bolster their government masters. And make buckets of money by scaring the people into thinking a common hurricane is the apocalypse.

I'm sure the talking heads would say something like, "If it saves one life..." Baloney. They killed people with their alarmism by pushing them onto government's carnage factory highways, and they're happy about it because they made money and bolstered their government masters. When was the last time you saw them devote 72 hours of uninterrupted coverage of a category three or more hurricane hitting the Florida panhandle or Mississippi? If you aren't disgusted with this coverage, you weren't paying attention.

Government is head, shoulders, hips, knees and ankles above any other killer in the US every year, and its media propagandists promote it. If we got rid of it, hundreds of thousands of people who died each year would survive.
