Clouded Coverage of Japanese Meltdown

What the AmeriKan media are not telling you (and what many had suspected) is that the meltdown occurred during the first few hours of the crisis, and was likely worse than we were told.

What little we are being told:

Damage to one Japan reactor worse than had been thought

I couldn't see through the steam of obfuscation, dear readers.

"the reactors continue to leak radiation"  

Found a fart poot of truth!

"Employee dies at damaged reactor

TOKYO — A man died on his second day of work at Japan’s damaged nuclear power plant yesterday, but the plant operator said harmful levels of radiation were not detected in his body. The cause of death has not been determined. The contract worker, who was in his 60s, was the first person to die at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant since the March 11 earthquake."    

They can't even tell the truth about the way the guy died!

Update: Fukushima Ocean Contamination: Worse Than Chernobyl

Looks like the Globe has moved on, huh?
