Opus 2020-161: Headlines: After the Killer Hornets

The media never gets over their need to hype.  One headline I saw talked about a giant cloud of African dust that is going to descend on our nation soon.  You got the feeling it was more dangerous than the China Virus.  It probably is, which means not so much.  I had already read about it under another sensational headline and been informed about it by my You Tube watching wife.  The author of the article I read made the mistake of pointing out that this happens every year and can be predicted fairly accurately. 

But the gurus of the media tell us, “Fear!”  I guess the killer hornets didn’t do the trick.

  1. You must remember that the killer hornets were supposed to hit California first, so everyone was sort of cheering for them anyway.

    1. Maybe they found the welfare system so inviting that they never got any further.

      Grace and peace
