Friday evening I tried to watch a news magazine show on ABC called 20/20. The three stories covered were, in order of presentation: 12 "Myths" About Germs, the potential Avian Flu pandemic, and Barbara Walters' interview with King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. I wanted to watch the interview, but turned the show off after about 4 of the 12 "Myths" due to frustration with the overhyping crap. Fortunately, Nightline aired the same interview later in the evening.
I think it's worthwhile to take the Avian Flu seriously, but America's anti-germ culture is primed to make more out of it than it is.
