125. Anyone who did their research...
Edited on Thu May-12-11 06:38 PM by CoffeeCat
understood that TEPCO was full of lies.

I'm no nuclear physicist, but the lies and the propaganda coming out of TEPCO and also
in our own media--were laughable. All you had to do was read the comments sections from
any Fukushima article, in the New York Times. Experts would chime in, and expose how
ridiculous the disinformation was.

One commenter left their name, job title and credentials. He was a nuclear-energy expert
who had worked in plants--and was now a professor. He pointed out a source quoted was
a well-known lobbyist working for the energy companies. Many experts/commenters had
amazing things to say, and I learned so much from those comment sections.

It wasn't long before the comment sections disappeared from most Fukushima articles--and now,
most of the articles have disappeared.

This has been the most heavily propagandized and corporate run disaster in recent history--much, much
worse than BP.

Again, I'm no scientist, but I have worked in corporate PR for decades--and believe me, I know a
concerted messaging campaign--complete with "planted quotes" from "experts".
