Sensationalism in the media...

Sensationalism in the world.

There is one thing any intelligent person can say: people really love to exaggerate. Why do they do this? Well everyone knows why it’s done in the media: ratings. When one channel is reporting a fire, and the other channel is reporting a blaze happpening near schools and nursing homes (which are, in fact, 50 miles away), which channel do you tune in to? Sadly, because we live in the days of “infotainment”, we would tune into the “blaze” channel.

Nowadays, you can’t turn anywhere without someone heavily exaggerating a story. Today, on Digg.com, a website which serves as a kind of platform where you can post up news stories, funny pictures, inspirational videos, and various other things and have them kind of voted on (or dugg). When a story is highly dugg, they make it to the daily top 10 stories. The story I have linked in the picture above threw me over the edge, and has now made it to the top articles of the day. This person linked to a video on youtube, saying “Martial Law in the USA! It has started! Can you believe it?”. For people who may not know, martial law is defined as “the system of rules that takes effect when the military takes control of the normal administration of justice”. The town described in the linked video is not, in fact, under Martial Law. The mayor of the town implemented a strict curfew due to the high rate of crime in the area. I have my own opinions on how this mayor runs his town, but that isn’t the point of this post.

My point is that there are people out there who buy into sensationalism so much that they actually believe that the world is coming to an end, or that someone is secretly taking over the world. For these people: don’t you think we have the means to take over the planet as it is, without all of this cloak and dagger nonsense that you think is going on? We have the means to DESTROY the planet if we wanted to, but the fact of the matter is that it hasn’t happened. If it hasn’t happened yet, chances are it won’t happen, and if it was going to happen, we would definitely know about it.

I am just so sick and tired of these people. I’ve reached the point where I’d rather watch sensationalist news than get on the internet, exposed to these insane people who think the moon landing was a hoax, George W. Bush is some evil genius mastermind behind world domination (are you KIDDING me?), or 9/11 was staged by us. Again, we have nukes and politicians, we don’t need this whole elaborate plan which involves a whole web of lies or Freemasons or the all seeing eye…just to dominate the world. All they are doing is talking crap, scaring the innocent, confusing the misinformed, and pissing off the rest. If they want to be surrounded by this nonsense, there are proper forums, websites, and park benches where they can converse amongst themselves, without bothering people who actually have real and solid problems to worry about, like their family, or the economy, or which president will get us out of a 9 Trillion dollar debt, not which president will stop the NWO from happening.
