WHO Declares H1N1's Spread Officially a Pandemic

juggledean writes "The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared a global flu pandemic after holding an emergency meeting, according to reports. It means the swine flu virus is spreading in at least two regions of the world with rising cases being seen in the UK, Australia, Japan and Chile." Whether it's called a pandemic or not, there's a hopeful note in the story about H1N1's spread: "...there were people who believed we might be in a kind of apocalyptic situation and what we're really seeing now with H1N1 is that in most cases the disease is self-limiting."

The liberal news media is a conservative myth

Just ask the majority of reporters and news producers, who explicitly identify themselves as left-leaning and left-voting. They'll tell you it's not a myth. But they'll try to make every feel better about it by mentioning that, of course, their own world view and the way they want things like elections to wind up would never influence their editorial and reporting decisions, ever, ever, ever. No sirree.
