I thought this was an interesting viewpoint and it never crossed my mind before but this is exactly what they are doing to us.


"MBP is a particularly tragic form of child abuse. Parents or caregivers induce illness in their kids to get more attention.


The thing is, the media does this to us all the time. (Actually, we've been doing it to ourselves, by rewarding the media for making us panic.)


It started a century ago with the Spanish American War. Disasters sell newspapers. And a moment-by-moment crisis gooses cable ratings, and horrible surprises are reliable clickbait. The media rarely seeks out people or incidents that encourage us to be calm, rational or optimistic.


Even when they're not actually causing unfortunate events, they're working to get us to believe that things are on the brink of disaster. People who are confident, happy and secure rarely stay glued to the news."
