Hello Doug,
Just to be clear, I was replying in regards to Paul Gessler's post and his
title "greenland meteor strike", making it clear that the articles he
referenced were about the Bering Sea meteor in December and not about the
Greenland Meteor in July, (even though the Fox "News" used an old, meteor video
involving the military base near Greenland in July).
Contrary to the description accompanying that older FOX video, the US Air Force
were the first to notify NASA about the December fireball over the Bering Sea.
I just figured that Paul's post (and title) and the reference to BOTH the BBC
and Fox "News" articles (and their stark differences) were his Canadian-polite
way of rubbing our collective US noses in our own "do-do" that is now US
internet "journalism".
With best regards, Bob V. P.S. - I must admit that I have no knowledge of Ron
Baalke's status at JPL.

I saw the the same sensationalized story written up as a CNN report today:
"A meteor exploded in the Earth's atmosphere with 10 times the energy of the
Hiroshima atomic bomb",
and CNN's article has buildings shaking and glass breaking on the autoplay
video on top of the page (from Chelyabinsk).
https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/18/us/meteor-blast-fireball-explosion-nasa-space-trnd/index.html
and they even screwed up the size of the explosion (since been revised in the
story, ironic since the title was about the energy that then needed
correction)!
MSNBC did a slightly longer sensational version, which was interesting for a
casual reader,
" Meteor blast over Russia's Bering Sea packed 10 times the power of Hiroshima
bomb"

To be fair, the BBC was a source of the report for all three of the cable
"news" networks, where the unifying thread is only US cable news "journalism"
which we all know is entertaining.
Wonder what the discussion groups in say India, thing about our news.
Also, wonder how "Rocket Man" Ron Baalke a former active list member at JPL,
who is missed, got suspended and if it was related to setting off the
sensational narrative on the Greenland defense base last year? Bob?
Cheers,
Doug

Regarding the Bering Sea meteor strike, the difference between the BBC
reporting, versus the Fox"News" story, is the difference between a factual
accounting, and another example of anxiety-inducing "fake news".
