Re: Chernobyl health effects

["Thomas J Savin " <tjsav@lycos.com>]

An interesting story concerning the media-

At Fernald from time to time, over the years, small anti-nuke groups have protests at the main gate.  These gatherings were always covered by the press. One day there was a small protest, seemingly similar to others except there was a slight difference.  This one was made up of Ku Klux Klan members, decked out in their normal garb.  A high ranking manager pulled his car over, got out and asked the group why were they protesting out here at Fernald in the middle of nowhere.  He simply replied - The press always covers protests here.  Food for thoought
