"Well thats all in good but I read about more crimes everytime I turn on the TV, Radio, Internet, Newspaper, etc..."

Guys this quote above which I posted was a joke about hearing more about crimes and then naming all of the ways new travels. Maybe not a Ha! Ha! joke but one saying how can we miss anything with all the news outlets.

Shocker since that's all the media seems to focus on and in today's 24/7 coverage you get this stuff shoved down your throat more than ever.

And in the end that's your perspective.

What's really funny about that is a few years ago when all those shark attacks were making the news, the statistics showed shark attacks were actually down that year...the media bends our minds too much in this country.

Hello...

Media much? That stuff sells newspapers and airtime, that's why you see it all the time.

Internet and technology have increased the ways in which the media can reach the viewer. Leading to more advertising dollars. So you'll see a lot more horror stories shoved in your face, since that's what Americans get fixated on.
