Another Terrible Article about Ukraine


Following up on yesterday's rant, a good example of terrible journalism:

http://www.voanews.com/content/crisis-in-ukraine-stirs-fears-of-new-nuclear-arms-race/1913697.html

Let me sum it up for you:

US and Russian military drills (pretty standard exercises, btw) have "raised fears of a new nuclear arms race between the U.S. and Russia." Blah Blah fear-mongering, blah blah, some somewhat interesting but irrelevant historical context, followed by an academic saying "fears of nuclear fallout from the Ukraine crisis are unfounded". Duh...so basically her conclusion is that the title of her article is complete BS. This waste of time article popped up as one of the top articles for "World News" today in my phone app.
