The latest round of wailing and sleeplessness over impending WW3, immediately followed by "oh well, what's for breakfast," makes me wonder if many people have become addicted to the 24 hour news cycle, which reports sensationalized and incomplete news stories on an instantaneous basis, only to be dropped and ignored by the next day's sensationalized and incomplete news stories. It is as if too much quantity and too little quality information is being injected into our brains at the same time.
I am seriously concerned about the mental and emotional health of our citizens who are continuously "plugged in" to these news sources. Could the local hysteria over Orson Welles' "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast in 1938 be repeated today on a nationwide basis?
