    Most crime has declined dramatically since the 90s. And yet right wing media is scaring the shit out of people, saying there are murderers, rapists, and terrorists behind every bush.

    The world is actually becoming more empathetic and safer, but some people want us to be scared because fear keeps them in power. Don’t believe them.

      It’s not just right wing media, all media does this because it drives profits.

      Fuck Fox News though, they are terrible for a multitude of reasons.

        Yes, that’s true, but right wing media is doing it on an exponentially larger scale than others, which is why I called them out.
