You're right Oliver - there's been some really biased, vitriolic press lately - though mainly the columnists from what I've read.
It's a tough one to get right - too much media coverage of the dangers will scare people and prevent uptake, whereas too little doesn't help raise awareness and makes it seem no one takes the matter of safety seriously.
