It’s like the “mass shooting” hysteria in America. Nothing like the media portrays. I’ll spare y’all the numbers, because facts are never welcome in that particular debate, but it’s nothing like they present. Rare, as you said.
Does it strike no one else as odd that the government and media seem to be inadvertently colluding to scare us? They have different reasons, eyeballs-on-content and mass control, respectively.
I’m old, grew up with 3 TV stations. They had to report basically the same news or be regarded as biased, which was a mortal sin. Boring as paste. Trust was a major factor in deciding what news to watch. (And of course, that was biased in itself.)
No conspiracy here, they’re just doing what works to get what they want.
