In the book, The Culture of Fear by Barry Glassner he shoes the reality of journalist and how they make up thei sories with statistics. In the 70 first pages he says how the media makes up tehse large amounts of numbers that says are in danger. Making it seem that its alot by saying 60% in teh worl would have road rage and due to that it would lead to fights and from that someone being killed. What Glassner does he finds teh facts and show that only 1 out of 5 had to deal with road rage. What he also does is see that the media puts ou theses titile that catch our attention to make us pay attention. Such as," We all have done it before", "There all out there and you might run into them"They doe this to mess with our mond and say probably we have done this. The media endsup takiong a little portion of the truth and fills it up with lies. That the reason that they do this is so they can make profit out of it. He
Clarrification Question: Why is it that we know the truth on whats going on but believe these lies that the media gives us and start to turn all paranoide?
Journalists need to feed us lies to make money. They know that there are many weak minded people out there and they stick false info in their heads and many do believe. People get sucked in and can never live a normal life. Its a big conspiracy , companies selling security systems and the media. The media creating fear something that isn't really there and allowing the companies to sell unnecessary devices and sytems to those weak minded people and making big cash.
