Veronica Licon and her pediatrician were stumped in 2011 when her son’s blood showed high levels of lead. Her home did not contain the usual culprits for childhood lead poisoning: lead paint or lead pipes.

Paint can be removed. Pipes can be replaced. But Licon lives directly under the flight path to Reid-Hillview Airport in East San Jose, Calif.

Oh, goodness, I live near an airport and directly under the flight path.  It's not a major airport, it only has smaller planes.   

Unfortunately in the US at this time a report like this one will get branded by the right-wing press as anti-business and creeping communism.

Yes, well, the right-wing like low IQ people and lead does lead to a low IQ.  So, for them, it's a win-win situation.

It does if the subject pits the interests of business against those of citizens.

Do your own test: see how CNN handles this, and then see how Fox does.  You decide on which is descending.

I have to correct myself here -- Fox may not mention it at all.
