Title: Very overrated
Product review: This reminds me of the sort of out-of-touch logic we were taught in college and graduate school. Truly, the mainstream media is biased (is there really anyone out there, in the internet age, who hasn't caught on to that, lol?) But in some ways the msm understates things that the author complains about. The violence shown, after all, is real. And Americans, in some ways, should be MORE, not less worried than they are. If you've lived in major cities ---and centers of media--- the manipulation of fact is even more noticeable. However, it's mostly selective manipulation--- up-playing and down-playing certain things. In some areas, there is more violence, more to be afraid of, and those things don't even make the media at all. So, it's NOT that the media is hype (though that too)--- but WHAT KIND of hype. As with most academics who've received no other real influences, this writer is not sophisticated to look beyond where he is, and start asking that question.
