I'm afraid I have to complain about crappy journalism again. AlterNet
is an online newsmagazine I quite like. We've been linked by them
numerous times and know their influence. Sometimes, though, some very
smart writers write some very dumb things, even if they do it in a
smart way. Alas, Joshua Holland has done it today on the front page of
Alternet.org with a supremely wrongheaded story about why you don't
have to be scared shitless about swine flu. We agree with that bottom
line, but how he got there is the problem (that and the fact that he
doesn't understand much about influenza).
