@Veenie That story has to die. Wonder what they'll pull out of the bag to "Look! Squirrel!" it.

do you ever feel like we're living in a parallel universe to that of the mainstream media & the bulk of the population?

@RadioGuy You tell me, remeber Anderson Cooper who is always right on the scene ?.....he hasn't been the same since Egypt.....he drops the ball everywhere now...and he is getting a daytime slot now as well....ph
by Veenie 5/13/2011 1:11:40 AM

@Veenie or all the dead pets they are finding in the evac zone that didn't make it.

No, he WAS the ONLY one i trusted in NO, asking questions and hammering on FEMA.....WTH happened to this guy ??
by Veenie 5/13/2011 1:13:47 AM

perhaps I'll try posting info on the animals on FB. Only 1 person has commented on anything I've posted there so far
by UKVal 5/13/2011 1:14:08 AM

@Veenie Thugs from a government more brutal than his beat him down, and someone let it happen. I think that's the subtext he felt.
by RadioGuy 5/13/2011 1:15:12 AM

It's sad enough, that all these Evacuees are still suffering...........all that damage from the Tsunami.....but even that is flowing down the tube crapper.........so staying on the Nuke situation is i think to dangerous for the media outlets because the GoJ. just will not admit defeat with TEPCO's handling.....IF it were just TEPCO, believe me, we would have this wide open in the public..........The Media has got to stop making nice with Goverments........its the country that suffers

@all You know...just thinking about the general lack of interest and concern for this story, I remembered during my lab days that most people are fairly cavalier about the dangers of radiation. Sure, they took precautions, but overall the attitude was rather lax. The small risk is greatly outweighed by the benefits. That refrain sounds familiar doesn't it?! People need to be more educated about the dangers.

CNN covered it, albeit tepidly, and then it got buried on their site. I had to search for it.http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/05/12/japan.nuclear.reactors/index.html?iref=allsearch
by Panserbjorne9 5/13/2011 1:18:21 AM

Well come on everyone, Facebook smeared Google! That affects everybody. Radiation only affects people in the future.
by bo 5/13/2011 1:19:12 AM

Americans need to be slapped in order to get their attention...and radiation is invisible. @Bo and the effects are delayed...so true.

@UKVal YES!!! re your post: do you ever feel like we're living in a parallel universe to that of the mainstream media & the bulk of the population?
by Debra Beckham 5/13/2011 1:20:47 AM

Can any of you imagine we didn't have this place??.........I mean, none of us are radicals..all of us care deeply though...........
by Veenie 5/13/2011 1:20:56 AM

@LM Yes, parralel......i have no one in my personal live that is even aware that this is still ongoing
by Veenie 5/13/2011 1:22:42 AM

@Veenie my kids indulge me, but barely...:-(
by marie rich 5/13/2011 1:23:57 AM

I agree with you all. Everyone I try to talk to about it thinks I am nuts.
by Angela5pointo 5/13/2011 1:24:22 AM

@marie rich @Veenie My boys have no choice, the live cam has been recording on my son's computer in the living room for the last 24 hours :) Seeing is believing.
by Debra Beckham 5/13/2011 1:25:42 AM

@Veenie Even my husband and kids think I'm obsessed, but their they're pretty understanding...until I start talking about it again.. LOL. My mom is really the only one who gets it because we lived there together in the early 80's. I'm glad she's around and all of you are here.
by LM 5/13/2011 1:26:02 AM

I had a guy (an older gentleman) say "I don't listen to the news, because I don't want to hear about all the bad stuff, so I listen to classical music"
by Angela5pointo 5/13/2011 1:26:14 AM

@radioguy here it is on NYT www.nytimes.com
by Panserbjorne9 5/13/2011 1:27:00 AM

LM, me too my mom understands and gets it too....she thinks like I do, she just doesn't utilize the internet for her concerns...as I do on a consistent basis
by Angela5pointo 5/13/2011 1:27:20 AM

Everyone I know is used to me. My kids grew up driving to nuke sites and watching 50s sci-fi.
by bo 5/13/2011 1:28:08 AM

Also, a lot of people I know have a "what can I do about it?" kind of attitude
by Angela5pointo 5/13/2011 1:28:24 AM

New article on saving pets from the exclusion zone. www.npr.org
by Panserbjorne9 5/13/2011 1:29:04 AM

@Panserbjorne9 exactly as was said below, the animal story has traction, the meltdown story doesn't. Maybe we should explain that the meltdown will affect even MORE animals than just the ones in the exclusion zone.
by bo 5/13/2011 1:30:01 AM

@bo Unless people see boils and blisters, open sores from Radiation poisoning, it isn't going to help.......so, Animals need to be shown.......sick
