OPINION: It's fair to say American television news has been obsessed with the fate of the missing Malaysian airliner. That story regularly leads news broadcasts, for example-- over the crisis in Ukraine, which has extremely dangerous political potential.
Hopefully, that obsession crested recently when a CNN anchor asked if the plane could have been swallowed by a black hole. He asked it dismissively, as if to take that off the board, but he did ask it.
If this nation is to survive as a major power through the decades ahead, the American people-- and the American media-- must be able to recognize and ignore scientific nonsense.
