You're partly correct. But I'm not actually saying "you should fear x". I'm making observations on mass media and a conjecture on the underlying fears of people, then just letting you figure out what you think about it. I also do not hold any power or credibility over my audience, I'm just some guy on the internet.

Contrast this to media entities, in a position of trust, twisting the world to conform to whatever they gain most out of. Do you yourself feel that the mass media sources you are familiar with fairly represent and report on the issues they address?
