Do you mean why is the worst of humanity highlighted by the media? I've read tons of news articles about people killing other people but I've never read any articles condemning people that run homeless shelters lol.


I hear more misanthropy from people than from the media.


In a sense, the media is just people. Ones who 'shout' things to other people.

ruyven is correct. Actually most of the main stream media are advertisers first and informers second. Unfortuntely the information is mainly to fill space between ads.

No. Because it is easier to blame everyone indiscriminently than to identify the wrong doers and take them to task.

When the space aliens make their presence known then we all can demonize them.

Until that time who the heck else do we have to demonize but ourselves?
