RE: TRUTH IS A RARE COMMODITY DESPITE THE FREEDOM ENJOYED BY PRINT AND ELECTRONIC MEDIA
The average person lives for exciting news, but the exciting news usually comes in the form of negativity. The media has given the public an appetite for chaos and misfortune. They offer news of problems and never offer solutions. It's an effective method of conditioning people to just accept the negativity. Each day that negative news persists sets a stronger precedent for more negative news. A vicious cycle...
This is the reality we live in and I don't think we can really do anything about it. More critical minds can discuss about it, but it won't be enough to stop it unless you're a person with just as much influence in the media as those who are currently there (or maybe no one really can...).
As long as there are issues to talk about publicly, we'll never hear the end of this. It'll all be, as you said, a vicious cycle of negativity.
