Does the press give to much press to terrible events?

[Gandalf]

I say they are not as interested because they are so overworked, poorly educated, and want to watch their favorite show. In turn that is a reflection on society. America has the poorest vacation laws, fewer labour rights, yet the news will sit there and tell you DOW Jones matters! It's absurd. It has zero connection with reality. Now stick on some terror? It is a sick game to rile up those who do not pay attention.

Well you're talking about institutional problems, not problems with the press.

The old saying is true, "if it bleeds, it leads".

But that is a lie as you ignore those that die through your own weaponry.
