    Fear mongering and sensatislism vs educational and beneficial programming.

    How we are taught to stop terrorism and homicides, give more power to police and authority figures.

    How one actually stops terrorism and homicides, better educate people and provide them with higher quality social and health services. Which ironically result in more preventative care and less deaths from the treatable diseases that are underreported.

    Eat this, not that.

      Another way to look at something is newsworthiness. If it’s something that’s super common, it isn’t remarkable enough to make the news.

      I don’t want to live in a world where terrorism is so common it isn’t even worth talking about on the news.
