The Media And Impending Doom

Here is an interesting article that discusses how the media promote one crisis after another in an attempt to make the people fearful. From the bird flu, to global warming these impending disasters are predicted but never come true. Even last year we were told it would be the biggest hurricane seasons ever. It was one of the weakest.

They always seem to be wrong with their fear-mongering, yet they continue to predict one disaster or epidemic after another. If it bleeds, it leads is the age old expression, but now it seems to be if it might bleed, it leads.

Is this a ploy for ratings? Is it an attempt to keep the American people in fear? I don’t know, but I found some of the facts in the article interesting.
