They created the modern 24 hour news cycle, which slowly destroyed news media in general over the next 40 years.
There is not enough happening to sustain a 24 hour news cycle, so it becomes constant hammering of the slightest incidents, or crimes from 800lbs a way, or whatever it takes.
Thus creating the guise, for people not capable of critical thought, that the world is on fire and crime is rampant. . when they are seeing nothing but the same crime being reported on 200 times over 2 days, and the occasional incident from somewhere they’d never go and has no relevance on them or their local area, much less their entire state.
Those 800lbs criminals I saw on the 24h news shows. I never thought they’d be a threat but now I’m afraid of the immigrants and transgender folk because one of them could be them 800lbs criminal type coming to eat my dogs and cats!
This post is about the 24 hour panic machine designed to make you hate your neighbors which was an invention of Fox News, capitalizing on the fearful post-911 political environment.
There’s more stuff they could report on, but it either doesn’t advance their ideological agenda or doesn’t interest their audience and doesn’t get them clicks.
blame CNN.

but you’ve already replied to it, so I’m not gonna fuck up your post by editing mine.
Oh I 100% knew what you meant. I just couldn’t refuse that wide open window of opportunity.
You right. its hilarious. Even from my perspective.
If you watch local news you’ll think the biggest story every day was the weather since they tell you about it 15 times in a 30 minute broadcast.
