This takes seems really off to me somehow.
They reported a min temperature of -25C, noted it is in an area known as "spanish siberia" (e.g. somewhere that expects cold weather) then note that it was unusually cold even for there, the coldest in 'at least 20 years'.
They also reported -16C in Madrid itself, and the struggles that hospitals were having with a combination of COVID impact and a large number of additional fracture cases from falling on ice.
None of this seem particularly sensationalized, misleading (intentionally or otherwise), or whatever you mean by "woke".
- tpmx 6y agoWell, it's the headline we're talking about. As I wrote, "Yes, the headline is quite misleading." Without that headline, this post wouldn't have been made it here.
- ska 6y agoSo you're objecting to the general nature of headlines for the last 50+ years at least? I don't see what you thought was worth calling out, really.
