CNN = pablum.

Instead of "look at these scary pictures", they need to realize that most of their demographic is at least somewhat intelligent, and they need a PANEL of experts to discuss the real risks and to challenge the assertions of the Japanese Government.

Nothing against Bill Nye, mind you, he's a smart man. But, every "expert" they have on there is disagreeing with the previous "expert".

History tells us never to believe initial "all is well" official reports.

2. CNN pretends to have integrity, as where their sister network Fox News
does not.

3. What am I missing? I don't have access to TV right now - have they determined
that a meltdown has occurred? I got a CNN alert via e-mail about a 'possible' meltdown, I think it said. Is there something happening NOW? Thanks!

4. Cnn does not have an answer to the meltdown question.
They keep saying that a meltdown "may" have occurred.

Right now they are talking about the long gas lines in Japan.
