A lot of bizarre and crazy things are being reported on tv. Crazy thing about it is they repeat it over and over again. Does this make you worry? Why or why not?

Yes especially when it's about the news about wars everywhere in the world. It feels like in a snap, a third world war will be declared. If it's going to happen, then i don't want it to happen in my lifetime. I hope people will come into their sense then stop the senseless wars because seriously, it already like mini world war where genocide is always at the back of their minds.

That's even a scarier scenario of bizarre things and all that because they also want media publicity. I definitely would not like it to happen in my own time too. When there is greed of power and money, I don't think this so called senseless war is gonna end abruptly. I do hope they will settle things in a more amicable way.

I think that the news can make me to be paranoid, lots of the news on tv in this days are bizarre and it's a crazy world out there, but the good news is that in my country we are used with economic changes so i don't get worry at all.

I agree with you that news can make people paranoid. I think most countries adjust a lot to economic chages not only in yours. We all have our fair share of the world's constant changes. Thanks for the response.

I am sure that in many aspects it does make people crazy because of all the violence that the news is showing.
For what ever reason, I think the news media would rather show all the negativity going on in the world to keep everyone scared and not wanting to face the world.

Yes, I wonder why movies are scrutenized but news aren't. I think they should not overexpose the negative side of things. I really hate it when news shown makes people worry a lot.

It's a good thing you ahve control over things. Realization and being able to draw out good conclusion is important when you with the things you watch specially now that they just show everything they think sells to the public or to attract people's attention.
