They probably don't see it, they are too busy living it while you're there at home watching TV.

The TV images do not reflect the Big Picture reality.

Just like every other news story, the OldMedia delights in seeking out the sensationalist stories. There are more high school children killed every year pursuing HS sports (especially football injuries) than have ever been killed in HS gun incidents, but the OldMedia chooses to highlight a gun shooting from across the country, and that serves to immensely scare everyone in the nation about the prevalence of guns in their own local schools when nothing could be further from the truth.

The dynamic of seeking out the sensational is true here, also. The relatively small number of trouble spots are highlighted. Meanwhile throughout most of the country, schools and hospitals and power stations and businesses are being built and prospering despite the persistent efforts of the few obstructionists.

This is so true. I met a guy from Northern Ireland last year. I asked about all the killing that went on there. He laughed and said it was only one little neighborhood in the whole city. By the news, you would have thought it was constant fighting. Most of the people went about their daily business. Think about it like when the police have a shootout with a criminal...

The MSM are nothing but liars and out to make a buck.
