The level of antibiotics in some sewage sludges is alarmingly high.
Two of the most common drugs are the antibiotics triclocarban and ciprofloxacin. Studies have shown several samples harbored up to 440 parts per million of triclocarban, which is added to antimicrobial soap and other personal care products.
Appreciate my article being mentioned, and I agree with a number of the comments. I refer to the phenomenon of the past couple of decades as the "National Enquirization of America." I once heard the guy who originally owned The National Enquirer, Generoso Pope, explaining that the purpose of the paper was "to entertain and inform, in that order, and if we can't entertain we're not interested in informing."
In the days of Cronkite, Murrow, and others of that era, news departments were neither expected nor required to make a profit. In fact, they were fully expected to run at a loss, the revenue being made up in the entertainment programming that followed, which is why CBS led the ratings in the post-news time slot every year that Cronkite was anchor (look it up).
News was considered a public service -- which it is and should be -- and it was conducted in that way. Reporters were not allowed to endorse products or receive gratiuties. Even so much as a box of candy given by a company or individual on which the reporter had done a story was frowned upon.
It wasn't until 60 Minutes burst into Prime Time that networks began to see that news could be entertainment and, therefore, expected to make a profit. And it is that event that marked the beginning of the downfall of journalism and the rise of the Rupert Murdocks and Fox News of the world.

Please answer this question:
Which of these COMPLETELY SUPPORTED Shirley Sherrod from the BEGGINING to the END ?
The Obama Administration
The NAACP
Glenn Beck, FOX NEWS
Correct answer: Glenn Beck.
The author of this article should check thier facts first. Just like Glenn Beck did.
If FOX news is such a monster, what does that make the Obama administration or the NAACP ?
Look at what kind of Reporters WCTI 12 is hiring,
they are terrible. Inexperienced, probably plagerized in College.
WCTI is terrible...
