I'll keep on harping on SENSATIONALISM.

Why do some people feed off this crap?

Need for attention? Desire to be the ones to "break the news"?

It's a psychotic disorder. Sad part is there are plenty of people out there willing to take it all in.

Sensationalism about EVERYTHING.

Politics... COVID... the climate... anything deemed newsworthy gets amplified by the factor of infinity. Why?

Why can't we just let news speak for themselves instead of incurring in all this "the sky is falling" crap?
