Update:
Looking up the term "outrage porn". Could it be that too many people are getting addicted to the need for this kind of stimulation, and are seeking out websites that cater to it?
All I am saying is "give peace a chance". Lol.
Yes, the outrage machine is a money machine. It is like porn, alright. Maybe it gives people a sense of usefulness and power.
But it is dangerous. You can talk yourself into a bigger problem than what actually exists. I have done it before. Consequently, I am sure that this is not necessary, and it surely isn't helpful.
the original post follows:
The media is one non-stop hype machine.
Perhaps this is so because that is what gets the eyeballs. What gets the eyeballs gets the money.
No need to pick a topic as an example. It is a principle. So it applies across the board.
Trouble is, people make a lot of decisions based up the hype. Better decisions could be made if the hype was toned down.
So, here's to hype. I include a video of the two guys hunting for a shark in the movie Jaws. They're having a "drink to their legs".
