[QUOTE="CobraBob, post: 16380005, member: 6727"] Not surprised. Fear is impacting how and what the media reports. It's the old "the glass is half full vs. the glass is half empty". One is more negative than the other, and more likely to stoke fear in the minds of people. People tend to respond more highly to negative news than positive news...generally. Just saw this on Fox News - "[i]German Chancellor Angela Merkel issued a stark warning Wednesday, citing expert estimates that up to 60 to 70 percent of the population could be infected by the coronavirus[/i]". So I ask, is it responsible for leaders to make a statement like that given that a low percentage of its residents have been found to actually have the corona virus? Talk about stoking fear and instilling fear in people! o_O [/QUOTE]
