Are US politics and media channels driven by fear-mongering and alarmism?
By the time it hit the US coast, the storm system Sandy which had been hyped by an alarmist media, irresponsible insurance companies and a frightened set of politicians into the “worst storm ever to hit the US” had fizzled to be a tropical storm.
The National Hurricane Center has downgraded Sandy to a “post-tropical cyclone,” as it approaches the New Jersey coast.
It was no hurricane which hit the US coast.
It was no doubt a severe storm but was it really worth cancelling 8,000 flights for?
