Is bird flu being hyped? Of course it is. The media loves
these kinds of stories.


Anyone who watches mainstream television news has been subjected to a flood
of pharmaceutical commercials. I am just cynical enough to believe that drug
companies not only delight in avian influenza news stories, but that they
insist the media (that they finance) air these stories frequently to generate
fear and prime their potential customers.
