Hyping swine flu isn't really healthy - Los Angeles Times
Great reporting on the reporting about this topic, plus some sensible advice and straight facts.

Television in particular can struggle with a story like this, when reporters and news anchors muddle along, untethered for hours in the vast space-time continuum created by the Web and cable TV.
Desperate to fill to the top of the hour and armed with little clarity -- no one can say for certain how prolonged or deadly this flu episode will be -- some newsies can't stop spinning. And conjuring a frightening reality that isn't quite real. -
Maybe Jill Biden forgot to put away the remote control and that's why hubby Joe, all twitchy and cable-TV-charged, practically suggested a shutdown of plane and subway travel.

Speaking of standards, there is a widespread misconception that you can capture content directly from your digital video camera or a DVD, encode it as FLV(Flash video), and toss it onto your web site. Unfortunately, it’s not that straightforward. DV and MPEG4 streams don’t split the video into separate audio and video tracks, they interleave them together into one track, instead. In this scenario, the Flash Video Encoder won’t find an audio track, and the end result is video with no sound.
-
If you receive a video that isn’t losslessly compressed, seriously consider returning it and asking the client for a cleaner copy. This may sound a little harsh, but if you prepare an FLV from a video compressed with a lossy codec, quality goes out the window.
