ກິ່ນເໝັນແມງໄມ້

ດຽວນີ້ CNN ໄດ້ກ້າວເຂົ້າສູ່ວົງວຽນຂອງ FOX-esque bashing ຂອງການສະຫນອງທຶນວິທະຍາສາດ.. ນັກຂ່າວ Erin Burnett “ບົດລາຍງານ” ກ່ຽວກັບເງິນທຶນຂອງລັດຖະບານກາງຂອງ $5.7 ລ້ານໂດລາເພື່ອຊ່ວຍຕໍ່ສູ້ກັບແມງໄມ້ທີ່ມີກິ່ນເໝັນຂອງ Brown Marmorated (Halyomorpha halys). ການເວົ້າເຍາະເຍີ້ຍຂອງ Burnett ແມ່ນເກືອບຫນາພຽງພໍທີ່ຈະທໍາລາຍລະດັບ SNL ຂອງຄວາມຂີ້ອາຍ., but she seems genuine in her distain for this story. It’s clear that in her mind the $5.7mil has been wasted on methods to keep these bugs away from overly sensitive suburbanites and out of your hair. A quick Google search for this insect yields a very informative page from PennState as result #1, and it even has great images of the damage these bugs can cause to crops. Back in reality, it is not surprising that the government would fund research on a potentially critical new invasive species, one that has already proven to be highly destructive to some of our nations most important (and lucrative) crops.
