I'm not an expert in the medical field. However, as a student of Mass Communications, I can confidently say how todays journalists (not all), do yellow journalism to spice up things and get more response from the audience. The common majority of laymen falls prey to such journalism and starts believing it to be true and this is how rumors become 'facts' when they pass on this information to their dear and near ones. It's a blessing that we're living in an age of IT and information. However, this blessing becomes curse when people starts sharing lies/fake info with just a click of button.
@suesa, Thanks for an awesome article that discloses the true faces of fake journalists. It's a guideline for Steemit authors as well. Good job to keep the Steemit community clean.
Respect.
Steem On!
