That is why I hear Rock stations rather than general stations with newscasts
and the like.

I am the sort of person who is disconnected from the news. I don't watch TV and
I don't read general press. Recently, I visited somebody who had the TV set
turned on for background noise, and after about 3 years of not being exposed to
TV news, I can only say I am horrified.

The news there were just selling fear, shamelessly. It was like an obvious fear
campaing. It was just as if they had given one of those madmen who preaches the
Apocalypse with a cardboard sign a TV station and let him run the news.

My theory is that they have turned the news into Apocalyptic propaganda so
slowly that people who is regularly exposed to it has not noticed. The
difference, though is noticeable from three years ago to today.
