And of course we would never see anything like that happen in the lame-stream mainstream news. In my opinion, in addition to the personal slant, that particular piece contained some valuable information - mainly that the West Nile Virus had not been definitively identified and yet millions of people, their pets, livestocks, gardens, and property were being contaminated with pesticides whether they wished it or not.
I won't argue that NN has more than it's ahare of opinion and sensationalized pieces - and there are plenty of times that I find such pieces off-putting. On the other hand, it also has information that one is not likely to see in the controlled and filtered pablum we are fed as "news" in the mainstream. And some of us writers try to keep our articles pretty straight - such as myself and Luella.
If people had chosen not to read NN over the past week, then a very large number of people might not have seen articles I wrote on how to minimize pesticide exposure, how to detox from pesticide exposure and how to control mosquitoes without resorting to pesticides and commercial repellents.
I suppose it comes down to personal discernment and using your own reality filter - perhaps not an easy order in today's fluoridated and brainwashed world.
