>quoting worst case scenarios
Why is this treated like a conspiracy and not simply the obvious thing to do? The only thing that can be reported _with certainty_ is the worst case scenario so obviously the media is going to use cover-my-ass style wording.
It doesn't really take a genius to realize the media is aiming for the least wrong, not the most right.
