You've got that right.
One is how easy it is for the press to manipulate emotions and overhype "risk."
And no amount of statistics will ever win when people are buying into the emotional angst. The press lives to frighten the masses and even conservatives will buy into it.

It's hard not to sometimes and I don't really blame people for it.
I have given in to it myself on occasion...even though I work very hard not to overreact because I know the consequences.
We must just strive to be better consumers...even of the "news."
