Reporting at its best..?

HOW UPSETTING. A VERY SERIOUS STORY ABOUT A POTENTIALLY DEADLY VOLCANO NEAR MEXICO CITY, AND ALL THE WASHINGTON POST CAN DO IS MOCK THE SITUATION..

The POST story seems to me aiming to attempt journalism when they write about the Popocatepetl volcano.. until the second sentence when the author writes, “not a good thing”..

The ‘reporting’ continues when the POST says, “It is also a little bit freaky, in a Krakatoa kind of way”.. It also said the “lava dome was growing in the volcano crater like a teenager’s pimple on the eve of prom night”.. 

Regarding how dangerous of a situation it is, the POST doesn’t let us down with yet another bad pun and reference to pop culture: “Authorities raised the alert level to high yellow, or 5 on a scale of 7 (with 7 presumably being something out of a Michael Bay film).”

And you say hardnose journalism is dead! You claim real news is a thing of the past. 
And you know what? You’re right. Apparently real reporting about very serious things is dead.
