The government is trying to sway the population's opinion in a certain way, that's why. Like the flu. Remember how when the flu came around, it was like, the biggest deal ever? They talked about all of these statistics, like how many people died of the flu. I mean, it's awful that someone lost their life, but seriously? What kind of person dies from the FLU? I even remember that my priest mentioned it before mass started. He said it was OK if we were uncomfortable with shaking hands because the flu was coming around. So when that got everyone in a panic, the news was like, "Never fear! The flu vaccines are here!" And everyone was all lined up at CVS to get their arms impaled with needles. The point is, pharmaceutical companies thrive that time of the year. They feed off of peoples fears and make those fears up in the first place. Nobody needs freaking antibiotics to combat the flu. If you're not dumb enough to die from it, it will go away naturally as long as you take care of yourself. Those huge pharmaceutical companies basically run America, and they use the media to take people's money.
Another example is the whole gun control issue. I think that the school shootings just happened a little too conveniently timed. This was, in my opinion, covered more extensively because of the Democratic gun control policy. I'm not saying that they faked the entire Sandy Hook incident - although that theory is certainly out there - but there's something to be said about the sudden appearances of other shooting incidences that happened around the tragedy.
In conclusion, the government and large companies have the power to sway the media in their favor. They cover up certain things and blow other things out of proportion to hide the truth from people and get people talking about other things.
