Phi for All Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 FOX couldn't get his name right, you trust them to quote him in context? FOX is a blight on the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ophiolite Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I mean its a NASA scientist who said it.. 0.o No, it is Fox who say a NASA scientist said it. This could be because 1) They did not understand what the NASA scientist actually said. 2) They cherry picked what the NASA scientist said 3) They took what the NASA scientist said out of context 4) They lied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 The direct quote is "nuclear disruptions are very likely to occur". There's nothing else reported that makes a link to weapons detonating. The scientist could have easily meant that disruptions at nuclear power plants are likely, or something else. Lazy, sensationalist journalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazy, sensationalist journalism. I like concise statements. The three words in your last sentence can be replaced with one word: Fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
