It's a great example of the nytimes and the media having to create stories in order to sell ads. The easiest way to get clicks is to sell fear. "Opioid" crisis. Trumpaggaedon. Ebola/SARS/etc. "Your child might die from this!!! Click to find what it is before your child might die! Click NOW!" Think about it. If absolutely nothing happens in the world, the "journalists" have to write something to sell themselves and make the newspaper money. These people are no better than clickbaiting youtubers. Also, fear and anxiety are great ways to control and manipulate the people. It's what north korea does to its people. It was the nazis did in the 1930s. Just like reading the bible critically is the cure for christianity. As a former 7-day subscriber to the NYTimes, reading the NYTimes critically is the cure for propaganda.
