Has Fear Porn Inserted Its Way Into Your Mind?

[AntonToo]

A weak mind can be manipulated by reading or watching. It's not the source that's the problem, it's the individual that accepts anything they hear.

I watch Laura, Hannity and Tucker every night. When they report on something of interest to me, I look it up. Yes, they express their opinions, but it's opinions why all of us come here to USMB. Nobody's opinion is Gospel, but you want to read what other people think about a story or subject.

Lets not conflate partisan opinionators like above and actual news programming.

 

[AntonToo]

I do not come here to be informed, I come here for the entertainment to break up the other things I am doing on the computer.

Maybe thats not what you come here for, but comeon, you can't tell me that you don't learn here something new now and then.

 

[AntonToo]

Fuck the MSM and Fuck you.

Poor triggered snowflake.

Has Fear Porn Inserted Its Way Into Your Mind?

Is all the media getting to you? A few changes can go a long way.

If you have not heard of the term "fear porn", it refers to mainstream media content that deliberately and enticingly plays on people's fears about disaster, disease, and death. Yes, there are media outlets that go beyond informing and alerting the public. Media is necessary and important to inform the public and to educate. However, at what point does informing turn into aggressively alarming people? Certain media is “intentionally” trying to panic the public. In a way, they are violating

Here are some ways to help correct or prevent mental health consequences from the “fear porn” industry:

1. Limit or get rid of your media intake. This includes social media, which is filled with plenty of strangers and “friends” trying to persuade and terrorize you.
2. Once you have limited media, use that time to go outside in the sun and walk or run. Exercise can help reduce your stress levels. Also, responsible sun exposure has been proven to help with some psychological conditions.
3. Refuse to get into conversations with anyone regarding what they saw or heard that was terrifying on the news. Simply explain to everyone that you will be using your own judgment to “protect” yourself as opposed to all the unknown reporters in the world.
4. Definitely get help immediately if you are unable to function socially or occupationally. Programs are available and are useful when trying to desensitize yourself, to have a quality of life.

What do you consider "actual news programming"?

For those that don't understand the difference, this is news:

U.S. | Fox News

Get the latest breaking and in-depth U.S. news headlines, photos and videos on FoxNews.com.

www.foxnews.com

This is opinion:

Opinion | Fox News

Captivating commentary from newsmakers, authors, experts and others on topics you care about from politics to family, faith, values and more.

www.foxnews.com

There is some overlap, but the fundamental difference is that major news outlets have some journalistic integrity on the line with their reporting, while opinionators are rarely held responsible for what they peddle unless it's straight libel.

Three main things make reading better...

1, I get to choose what I read, unlike the TV which picks the stories for you.
2. I am not influenced by the emotions and even the inflections of those "reporting" the news.
3. I can read about the same topic from multiple points of view in the time you listen to someone tell you what they think

So what if the "story is picked" for you? Just watch a veriety of sources, you'll have a veriety of story bias to cover all sides.

And it's not as if someone somewhere doesn't judge something a story worth writing before you get to pick it.

Or Rachel Madcow for MSLSD.

If any of you were to turn to the entity known as FOXNEWS now, you will start feeling afraid immediately.

If you don't, then they're not dong their jobs correctly.

They cover news topics usually of the day. Yes they voice their opinions. That's why we turn them on. What difference is there between that and the MSM conveniently omitting things they should be reporting on that they don't? Either way you get biased information.

Those things you describe are thrills the news is just sickening. Ya, I have jumped out perfectly good airplane s. Been on rice burner at rates of speed. Been upside down in airplane s. I get but not the same thing news gives you.. I used to like those haunted house s. Walk in with one girl walk out with five clinging to ya, lol. I have done alot of para sailing. Got my first sail before. First boat. The boat followed soon after. The feeling news gives ya is different.

Not that different at all. Some like to believe that man controls the climate and we are destroying ourselves, or as AOC put it, we only have ten years left. Some love conspiracies such as we never landed on the moon or 911 was an inside job. Others believe in UFO's and little green men that could dominate our planet. It's all designed to scare us even if there is no truth in it.
