It has become increasingly evident that the goverment and media here in the U.S. spend a lot of time (and big $$$) feeding their rhetoric of fear to the citzenry. Just about every major news channel is guilty of it, and the government provides them the fodder with which to continue the propaganda.
It used to be simple sensationalism was the grease which kept the network wheels turning. And we all understood that the media, like our favorite uncle, was prone to exaggeration, telling stories which contained a germ of truth but needed further investigation. Back in those days, individuals could draw their own conclusions by consulting various sources, each with their own slant on the topic(s) at hand, and the method was sufficiently informative.
Or maybe it's always been this way, and I was too young or naive to notice it?
