MSM cover-up? "Smoglodytes" kill 36,000 in Mexico City
Move over BBC and Al Reuters, this is from the most trusted name in major media, the Weekly World News.
(WWN itself is now using the slogan "America's most reliable newspaper" which could well be true given the reputation of the NYT, WaPo, and other slimey rags.)
DEADLY NEW CREATURES LIVE IN SMOG!
Health officials claim Smoglodytes have killed over 36,000 in Mexico City -- and warn: The death toll is expected to be even higher in L.A. and other large cities
By MICHAEL CHIRON Fresno, Calif.
UNIVERSITY scientists have discovered a bizarre new airborne life form that has evolved in smog -- and they warn it poses a potentially deadly health threat to all Americans.
Dubbed smoglodytes by researchers, the tiny microorganisms are now being blamed for a host of medical woes, ranging from asthma attacks and whooping cough to emphysema. Yet astonishingly, the federal government is taking a hands-off approach to the creatures and the White House has labeled scientists' report on the startling February 22 discovery "classified."
University scientists, eh? Practically as good as The Lancet.
WWN, unlike other major outlets, actually recognizes the possibility of fabrication and is even running a "Guess the Fake Story" contest right now.
To prove their credentials and popularity among the intellectual elite, WWN runs a list of Top 10 visiting Universities in the site stats on their (homepage). Currently:
1. University of Missouri
2. University of Michigan
3. University of Maryland
4. Massachusetts Institute of Technology
5. Stanford
6. Purdue
7. Arizona State University
8. Georgia Tech
9. UCLA
10. University of Texas, Austin
(U of Missouri is consistently at or near the top of this list. They don't call it the "Show Me State" for nothing.)
