Thanks again, CNN. It wasn’t enough that you spent several months reporting on the missing Malaysian Airlines flight with spooky tales of everything from UFOs to hijacking to terrorism. 

Now, you’re doing the same with Ebola. Only this cacophony is much more dangerous and troubling as your noise goes a long way in misleading the public. 

All for ratings.

More than 30,000 people die from gun violence every year (more than 70,000 survive from gun injuries).

Over 52,000 Americans died of the flu last year.

There have been three cases of Ebola identified and one death in the US.

But Ebola is so much more exotic, exciting, unfamiliar and therefore, fear inducing, is it not?  

Between television ratings and damn politics, the unsuspecting American public has been treated to more fear mongering and scare tactics with Ebola than we have witnessed in a long time.  Remember the early days of AIDS? And then swine flu, bird flu, H1N1…

This has been latest and one of the most irresponsible media circuses we have seen, and CNN sits at the top of this heap. It’s time for you to go away.

And let’s not even get into Chris Christie’s ridiculous quarantine policy that ends up treating health workers like criminals.

What’s ironic is that one of the more balanced reports on Ebola was recently shown on, of all places, Fox News! Who would’ve thought?

Watch it here or click the image below to watch….I highly recommend it.

Fox’s Shepard Smith Blasts Media For “Hysterical,” “Irresponsible” Ebola Coverage

And here are some Ebola facts [from the CDC], loud and clear:

Now these – these you can spread around all you want.  

If we could simply educate ourselves on FACTS and if the World Health Organization and Western governments focused on deploying badly needed resources to countries like Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone where there really have been Ebola outbreaks this year due to their poor conditions, the world would be so much better of.

Now can we stop with the nutty hysteria, please?
