Thanks for the informative post. I was all ready to poke fun at this move.
You're not alone. The news media is a shit-stirring business run by oligarchs who want you to question science and government regulations. This is a relatively benign example, but it's a transparent one. The way the headline grabs you, the way it's written, and the social media commentary, it's all created to benefit the wealthy and make you think you're on their side.
