My incredible mother passed on to her next adventure last week.
One of my favorite memories of her was around 1972, the fake news Guardian wrote a hit piece on Los Alamos in which the Guardian said the first atomic bomb was detonated there. My mother responded with a letter to the editor saying something to the effect of “I have lived in Los Alamos a long time, and don’t remember seeing any nuclear weapons going off. I think I would have noticed.”
I haven’t been able to find that article, but I did locate this idiotic 1976 Guardian hit piece on Los Alamos. My mother loved Los Alamos, which is an incredibly beautiful place full of great people.
Early in life I had noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper.
- George Orwell
This is the actual Los Alamos
I have continued the family tradition of calling out Guardian fake news. Below are some of my favorites.
