Two things that I want to point out. First is the local news here on the east coast. When I wake up in the morning all of the top stories are how someone got shot or some fire that broke out. I got so sick of it, I don’t even watch local news anymore.
Second, I find it funny how the 24 hour cable news station find a frightening story and just beat it to death. Remember a few summers ago when we hear about every single shark attack. You would think for sure by the way they reported that one would get eaten alive by Jaws ever time one got their feet wet. It seem every time there is cute blonde girl that gets kidnapped the news always seems to find two or three similar stories right away. Every summer there are wild fires, but for a good month we here about every single fire that breaks out, and then all the sudden people get board with it, and all the fire just go away.
There are so many more examples like this. I just get tired of hearing the same scary story over and over again.
