The News Media’s Dangerous Obsession With “Fake Facts”

The news media is biased with Negativity and Catastrophe. This podcast gives real world examples of this lately.
What do most people not understand about the news media? I would say two things. First: The most important bias in news media is not left or right. It’s a bias toward negativity and catastrophe. Second: While it would be convenient to blame the news media exclusively for this bad-news bias, the truth is that the audience is just about equally to blame.
