Farmers penalized for discharge

Free Press Staff Report


Today's headline from the Burlington (Vt.) Free Press. I mean really, if they want you to take the news seriously shouldn't they come up with better headlines? This is a serious story about farmers dumping cow manure where it runs right into Lake Champlain, which causes algae blooms and pollutes the lake, kills fish, etc. It's not "discharge," like, discharge you get when you eat too much fat when you're taking Alli, or have a yeast infection, or a cold or something. Bet the reporter has a sense of humor and was pissed that he got stuck with this story. Tough shit. hahahaha.
