This so much reminds me of this article I read yesterday.
The media should just stop with their crap, sod off and die Another contributing fact that's brought the country to its knees

I don't think the swine flu stories have done much to the country at all; there was certainly an initial concern, but now it's recognised that swine flu is about as bad as a cold in most cases, the majority of people are ignoring the whole thing IME.

I certainly agree that the Media are irresponsible in exaggerating and blowing up the risks out of all proportion, this wouldn't be such a problem if common sense was a little more common so people don't blindly believe every story they read/hear.

Yeah well what’s new, same old clap trap disaster scenarios as mad moo disease (thought we were all suppose to be dead from that by now), good old asteroid strikes blasting the planet to bits, the religion of global warming, not forgetting a black hole swallowing up the earth…blimey its all real scary sh$t but in the end just a load of old rubbish to sell news papers that would have been more useful as bog roll, to gullible fools too stupid to think for themselves
