I was looking at the world news and found out something. It's all bad; all of it; this is my world news list. The entire world is going fucking insane. It's like evil surrounds us. Even the movies are scarier. I might just have to build a secret bunker somewhere while the world implodes.

Society feeds on negative news like that, so the media delivers. There's far more positive news to be read, but it's not being displayed up front.

Do not debase evil's name by mistaking it with hysterical stupidity summed up from ignorant 3rd party perspectives with the sole purpose of inciting sensationalism and fearful appeal.

The "Mean World" Syndrome is one of the main effects of the Cultivation Theory. This occurs when heavy viewers see the world as a much nastier place than do light viewers. This, theorists attribute to the fact that television depicts the world as a mean and violent place and therefore, heavy viewers are overly frightened and too cautious of the real world (Phillips). Gerbner believes this may have something to do with America's policy on capital punishment (Stossel).
It applies to print media also. Not to take away from cruelties happening in many places around the world, but the media does tend to blow things out of proportion. The world is not such a nasty place, but the media does deliver.
