"it's all about trying to use news narrative paradigms from the past in an attempt to convey new meaning. " Why don't you just say 'lying': “To capture the public imagination, we have to offer up some scary scenarios, make simplified dramatic statements and make little mention of any doubts one might have. Each of us has to decide the right balance between being effective, and being honest.” Stephen Schneider, Discover, October 1989 (p47) Sue.
