Steve, the correct spelling in your question is *our
Just helping out.
Not sure why you created a separate thread? The answer to your question is yes, but you know that- don't you? If you don't think our media has ever used fear to boost views or manipulate public opinion then I am better off walking away from this thread- which seems more about proving a point than exploring actual UFO phenomenon. I say that knowing CNN is extremely irresponsible as a media outlet. This feels like an old pattern, squabbling over matter of opinion. If the subject were over something other than CNN's credibility- I might be interested in engaging.
Kind regards

Contrary to your opinion, the UFO’s posed no threat and so the reports given by; CNN, Washington Post and USA Today quelled fear and promoted understanding. No opinions expressed by me just stating facts and their outcome…. from what you consider to be toxic news sources. The thread was an interesting portrayal of the UFO phenomenon, so I placed it in the area it deserves attention… thanks for your responses.
