The second article goes on to state:
> When asked about anecdotal reports of people getting headaches and sore throats, and of animals, such as cats and chickens, dying near the train derailment, Ohio Health Director Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff said that air quality does not appear to be the source.
You can disagree with the officials if you like, that doesn't change the fact that the news reporters asked them about the issues you mentioned, and they gave an official response. This is what the news is for!
Here's ABC talking about the acid: https://abcnews.go.com/Health/toxins-ohio-train-derailment-posed-deadly-threats-residents/story?id=96978394 https://abcnews.go.com/Health/toxins-ohio-train-derailment-p...
All in all this is a dumb discussion. The G**P claimed that no one was talking about this, I show that every major media outlet has this as front page news, then people just chime in to say that... the news the media reports doesn't exactly match their preconceived notions based on looking at TikTok? I say that's great! It'd be far, far, far worse if every news outlet and social media were presenting the same narrative.
- detrites 4y ago> the news reporters asked them about the issues you mentioned, and they gave an official response. This is what the news is for! Wrong. Journalism begins, not ends there. > I show that every major media outlet has this as front page news That'd be like saying they had cigarette harms as front page news by stating they're safe and everyone should smoke. I disagree it's acceptable if news outlets downplay what's happening to real people, and instead claim everything's how stakeholder PR would prefer it be presented. Maybe one day you'll experience what that feels like. But I hope not. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
