16. The fearmongers are everywhere, they hate the truth.

The truth about certain things like , radioactive poisoning from Fukushima, severe air pollution, and many other topics is under reported. Yes, it is reported quickly and often let go by media sources quickly. But Benghazi, the terrible, awful roll out of the ACA (Obamacare), the terrible, dangerous national debt..(that has gone down under Obama), are not let go by the mainstream media.. , and there are many more. That fear mongering as you say, does not go away and is on going. Over and over again they (media outlets) chose to report Benghazi crap, and the terrible roll out of ACA..

Fear of weather is part of it. that is what this op .. is about. Yes, it is cold, but taken precautions, you and I will be ok....I have read that lightening strikes kill more people than most weather related problems.

.The idiocy of the national debt discussion is beyond anything plausible..over and over again the media reports it and tries to frighten us...and it works for many who are not knowledgeable on that topic..
