Coronavirus Panic is Not the Media’s Fault

Stop Blaming the Media for Basic Human Nature

“Media hype” has long been a favored whipping post when the human species loses their ever-loving minds.

With the coronavirus panic hitting the U.S. hard it’s sure a lot easier to point fingers than take a hard look at ourselves.

It’s the media’s fault, we scream, as California declares a state of emergency and the Dow Jones tanks.

I’d wish I could blame it all on Trump. I’ll still blame a lot of it on Trump.

But honestly, I see the same accusation lobbied from all sides of the political fence. It just depends on whether you agree with the headlines of the day. Or not.

Welp, here’s the thing — the media is merely a reflection of YOU and ME and ALL of US!

So, stop blaming the media for ‘causing panic’ you happen to disagree with.

You’re not tired of the ‘media hype.’ You’re tired of ‘human-nature hype.’

Do You REALLY Want a Government Run Media System? Really?

Our media isn’t government-controlled. It’s funded by good ole capitalism.
