Clearing The Air

When Irish lies are flying............

Just the other day I wrote a post lambasting the airborne particle test for what it.... is junk science.......

And also the other day I wrote about the economic harm to bar & restaurant owners....which goes ignored .......if not trivialized by the Nicoderm marketing department.

This story of Irish pubs, since the smoking ban took effect, combines the two outrageous lies to illustrate .............what exactly? Oh yeah, lost my train of thought for a second, that Reuters can lie just as effectively as the Star & Sickle. I hope RWJF slips a little extra in their payoff envelope this month......

A sampling of the Reuters article and I quote:

.....Opponents of the Irish ban had warned that the law would put Ireland's famous pubs out of business, but their fears have not materialised...

Hmmm...........then what are these Irish pub owners complaining about?

Know how to tell when the print media is lying?......the presses are rolling.
