Speaking of advertising. Both sites you mentioned are selling something. It could be argued that publishing flamebait articles will help wddty increase their advertising revenue. http://www.wddty.com/advertising.html And, Dr. Mercola is promoting his own products. Whiles i'm not disagreeing with your post, I would say that as far as incentives for telling the truth goes I'm not sure how these two sites are any different from the newspapers and other news media.

Yes panic helps to sell newspapers but the same has been said about the other side of the coin. The MMR stories are an example of the same thing where a panic was created that was totally exaggerated. Selling news (ie adverts) aside, newspapers are notoriously bad at any thing remotely scientific. Real journalism from the known news outlets is practically dead. News is either from "official sources", i.e the PR department. Or, from experts for hire. God forbid a journalist should actually make an informed study. OK OK.

Well, I am glad you are not of the panicing masses! It is something that is over-hyped and basically they have put a name to a certain strain of flu and made everyone scared of it. What people do not realise is that normal flu DOES kill. It does so every year and has been killing since the beginning of time. The people that Flu (yes, maybe even the one you had last year!) kill are immunocompromised people such as old people, the chronically ill and some fragile children. I do believe you are absolutely correct in saying it's a money making scheme! Take care and see you soon. LK Hi Sensei! Well, I am glad you are not of the panicing masses!
