Hier een mail naar de standaard, waarin ik de sensationele manier waarmee zij tegenwoordig dit soort nieuws verslaan, aanklaag.

Beste,
alhoewel ik abonnee ben op de standaard, frons ik toch de wenkbrauwen hoe sommige items in het nieuws benadert worden. Het gaat precies steeds meer de sensationele kant op. De moord op Joe van Holsbeeck, het incident in antwerpen ... dag na dag pagina's vol en waarom vraag ik me dan af ?
Vooral de voorpagina titel die een verband suggereerde tussen het spelen van computerspelletjes en gewelddadige moorden, vond ik er echt over. Geen wetenschappelijk onderzoek staaft dit & de redenen waarom dit zo op de voorgrond komt kan ik niet in de objectieve journalistiek terugvinden.
Misschien moet er maar eens bekeken worden of Hans Van Temsche zich niet overdadig aan brood tegoed gedaan heeft (net zoals bij videogames ontlokt het eten van brood geen aggressie bij gezonde personen maar is de kans groot dat reeds aanwezige aggressie bij personen wordt aangewakkerd) ?
1. More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread users.
2. Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households score below average on standardized tests.
3. In the 18th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the home, the average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality rates were unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and diseases such as typhoid, yellow fever, and influenza ravaged whole nations.
4. Every piece of bread you eat brings you nearer to death.
5. Bread is associated with all the major diseases of the body. For example, nearly all sick people have eaten bread. The effects are obviously
cumulative:
6. 99.9 percent of all people who die from cancer have eaten bread
7. 99.7 percent of the people involved in air and auto accidents ate bread within 6 months preceding the accident
8. 93.1 percent of juvenile delinquents came from homes where bread is served frequently
9. Evidence points to the long-term effects of bread eating: Of all the people born since 1839 who later dined on bread, there has been a 100% mortality rate.
10. Bread is made from a substance called "dough." It has been proven that as little as a teaspoon of dough can be used to suffocate a lab rat. The average American eats more bread than that in one day!
11. Primitive tribal societies that have no bread exhibit a low incidence of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and osteoporosis.
12. Bread has been proven to be addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water to eat begged for bread after as little as two days.
13. Bread is often a "gateway" food item, leading the user to "harder" items such as butter, jelly, peanut butter, and even cold cuts.
14. Bread has been proven to absorb water. Since the human body is more than 80 percent water, it follows that eating bread could lead to your body being taken over by this absorptive food product, turning you into a soggy, gooey bread-pudding person.
15. Newborn babies can choke on bread.
16. Bread is baked at temperatures as high as 400 degrees Fahrenheit! That kind of heat can kill an adult in less than one minute.
17. Most bread eaters are utterly unable to distinguish between significant scientific fact and meaningless statistical babbling.
In light of these frightening statistics, we propose the following bread
restrictions:
1. No sale of bread to minors.
2. A nationwide "Just Say No To Toast" campaign complete celebrity TV spots and bumper stickers.
3. A 300 percent federal tax on all bread to pay for all the societal ills we might associate with bread.
4. No animal or human images, nor any primary colors (which may appeal to
children) may be used to promote bread usage.
5. The establishment of "Bread-free" zones around schools.
Binnekort is de standaard "niet toevallig de standaard" maar gewoon het nieuwsblad met minder prentjes.
Toch een complimentje: de economiebijlage vind ik meestal zeer goed !
met vriendelijke groeten,
Bram Luyten
