What Is This – Tokyo?

October 7, 2009 · 1 Comment

WCVB’s NewsCenter 5 at 11 reported Tuesday night about the family effects of the swine flu – or the H1N1 virus as the U.S. government prefers to call it. ( Don’t want to alienate the Amalgamated Bacon Union, now do we?)

But the ‘CVB report – business as usual, right?

Except that Richardson wore a surgical mask while delivering her stand-up in front of the family’s house at the end of the piece.

(Sorry – no link. But it’s not like I didn’t try, which resulted in 30 minutes of my life I’ll never get back.)

A surgical mask?

Really?

When Richardson was nowhere near the maybe-infected family?

Really really pathetic.

    I would think the Department of Public Health might even want to make some kind of complaint about this in order to put the brakes on what is going to be a spiraling vortex of media hysteria otherwise. But I suppose it’s too late for that.

    Glad you caught this–though it is sickening it also gave me a laugh to imagine the image.
