Headline after Headline .. story after story.. I keep finding the same results.
The Headline : Asian Hate Crime ... The story: another mentally ill Homeless Person on the loose.
Are these stories fostering/reinforcing an atmosphere of Fear?
Does fear induce aggression?
Do news outlets feel an obligation to put 'Hate' in the headline?
Do news organizations capitalize on scary headlines? The more likely a person will click through, generating income for the 'News' source? They catch me repeatedly.
Todays example..

and I google to see what is another example for today and I get this story....
How can you ignore this?

ABC news presents a frightening story, except where is any evidence?
This one tweet of an anonymous, 'you heard it on the internet', good enough for ABC TV...
'I’m hearing there’s a “slap an Asian” challenge going on with the youths in the Bay Area now. ' This one tweet ... 'I'm hearing' well dude, copy the Tweet or FB or whatever you heard, wherever you heard it as evidence and share it if you are real or it is real
Terrible journalism pumping oxygen into a story that appears to be a fabrication.
Asian people are loved in America... Black People are Loved in America. Blue People are Loved in America! Fat people are loved in America! Skinny People are loved in America!
You may not believe it. It is far more accurate than this pandemic of fear whose motivation seems to be...
'....lets perpetuate a world of enemies. Maybe I can be perceived as a hero if I can point out as much
hate as I can possibly find. Maybe I can help my news outlet be heroic as well as help them make money. Maybe we can rise up and defeat our 'enemies' ... enemies? You know. Those guys over there, they are full of hate...' are they?
Who is dividing who?
'I look at you all see the love there that is sleeping, still my guitar gently weeps'
