> Weird how you paint journalists spreading awareness of Bad Things Happening as the evil here
Journalists cherry pick to create an incredibly misleading impression, this is true whether it's politics, floridaman, science or lifestyle.
They also encourage people to ignore scale, which actually really really matters. When comparing two outcomes you need to multiply the number of events times by how bad/good they are to get a total to compare, and that number is ignored by journalists.
