Constant, Irrational Fear

Ain't it the truth. The BBC broadcast a scare program about wireless Internet health concerns, based on nothing. It was bad enough that the BBC news felt compelled to contradict the story.

I can remember when newspapers did this about modems. And they were right that modems were dangerous! To traditional newspapers! Not to people.

Such alarmism is itself a risk to people, in giving them false information, and in scaring them so they'll be more likely to make bad decisions.

If it bleeds, it leads. And if it doesn't bleed, just pretend that it will make the reader bleed.
