The Trouble with the news is simple. People, especially ones on the ends of their power spectrum, like it when you're afraid. The people who have the power want you scared. They want you walking around paralyzed by the notion that you could die at any moment. There's always something to be afraid of. It used to be terrorists. Now it's zombies.
What does this have to do with the news? This: the truth isn't scary. not when you understand the repercussions of it, and not when you're being worried that something is kept from you. The truth is only scary when you think part of it might be missing. And those people? they like it when you're scared. So they do their best to sit on the truth, to sensationalize the truth, to filter the truth in ways that make it something that you can be afraid of.
If we didn't have to fear the truths we didn't hear, we'd lose the need to fear the ones we did. People should Consider that.
