Fox News Expert On Bird/Fish Deaths: Relax. This Happens All The Time.

Video
» 21 comments

Fox News Channel is keen on getting to the bottom of this so-called “Aflockalypse” – the name that, apparently, we’ve all agreed upon to describe the recent wave of dead fish, exploding birds and free sushi popping up across the globe.

America Live‘s Megyn Kelly brought a “big-brained man” from “the science world” to discuss whether we’re all about to die painful, horrible deaths. (Spoiler: No.)

Michio Kaku , a physics professor at CUNY, said, in the case of the redwing blackbirds seemingly dropping from the sky, the deaths can be attributed to a lemming-like “mass suicide.” As for the other animals, Kaku says that this sort of thing happens all the time, just below the media’s radar. So “get used to it!”

    As Glenn Beck pointed out yesterday, any of these so-called “journalists” could simply do a Google search and learn this has happened many times over the years.

    Such fanfare over nothing new.

    This reminds when when the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission held a special press conference to announce the dangers of “rollerblading.” They said a study showed a number of injuries from people using roller-blades.

    Two days latter, they retracted their warning after it was discovered that there had far more injuries sustained by people using regular roller skates.

    Dr. Kaku is one of the smartest men on the face of the planet. Nice to hear him chime in on the conversation. Hopefully this will chill people out.

    @ Chili

    Come on, buddy… line like that work around people who don’t actually watch O’Reilly, so they’ll just blindly agree. But on a site like this, where some folks are actually informed… comments like that just show your willingness to take the obvious out of context, if it means attacking O’Reilly.

    This isn’t KOS… this isn’t Newshounds. You gotta be more honest than that.

  • njoy-d-ride

    I have an inside tip that this is all really just a big promo for a new movie you’ll be hearing about soon.
    The movies’ title: “Aflockalypse Now!”

  • Mr.Papshmer

    Michio Kaku is one of those rare people who, in addition to being very smart, is an excellent speaker and spokesman for his interests in science. To follow him using twitter use @michiokaku. He announces speaking engagements and other items of interest, without flooding you with BS.

    Megan Kelly, is just one of the Pathetic ones who was going into a FOX News, pretence that there was a Major story here. This Kelly woman must be screwing someone high up on the Fox ladder, their can be no other explanation for why she has her own show, she is AWFUL!!!!

    What caused them? Any cause or cause in common?

    That it happens all the time is cold, clammy comfort if there be alarming causes in common, like a previously unknown bacterium against which there is no known defense.

  • eingriff

    End of the world?

    Would this be a great loss, in the overall scheme of things?
