> complaining about how awful the cops are.

That is one of the big parts of the problem, simplification. When you see someone doing something, then surely any other member of whatever group you perceive they form must do the same thing.

So, if a black guy commits robbery, all blacks are thiefs.
If a white cop shots a black guy, all cops are repressive nazis.
If a black cop shots a black guy, then all the black cops are even worse than the white cops.
If some blacks cause riots, then the whole black community can't be trusted to be part of the society.
If young people are the ones causing riots, then the youth has been corrupted by this permissive society (and more often than not, you can add "in my times this didn't happen").

Judging the whole by the acts of a few is a rather silly way to see the world. There's a quote I often say whenever someone near me does this kind of mistake (excuse the poor translation): Generalization is the most stupid way to be wrong.

However I agree with something: media is, on average, more interested in raising mayhem than not. "Everything is well under the sun" wouldn't make people watch TV or read newspapers. It's a matter of evolution in an economy market. Any media that doesn't follow this rule, will get less followers, in turn less money, and soon fill for bankrupcy or be bought by a larger one.


Btw it's plagiarism if you pretend to be the author. If you paste it stating in any way that you're not the author (even without specifying the autorship), it's copyright infringement. In that case, be prepared for bombing by saturation, the Berne Convention Army has purchased more strategic bombers to fight copyright infringement.
