All what media cares about is attracting the largest number of people. I don't think they care too much about how true is the news.

I think the question should be, do others expect everyone to step into fights, attacks or violence. The only thing the media expects people to do is something stupid or bizarre so it makes the 6:00 news . . .

 Professor Bill, some of your questions seem to come out of a Sociology text. You're

 making us think Bill! I would say ''no'' because I'm a little skeptical of the media

 anyway.

No, I do not feel tha tthe media should have that expectation. There are people who will not put themselves into such positions and will be lucky not to be put into such situations.

Actually....I've got to be frank here....I'm dizzy from scrolling up and down trying to find where to answer what question with all the repeated songs and tidbits, I do start thinking I'm hallucinating if one can hallucinate reading - I love Johnny Rodriguez btw (is he even still alive?) - but strat just answered the last discussion question here and I can understand that because the answers to the last discussion question get repeated...and sometimes the questions do, too....of course, I am slow I realize...and I have blonde and purple hair....but I'm actually dizzy from scrolling up and down....so, frankly right now I could attack the media quite easily.....that's if YOU are considered part of the media!

MY guess is that it's a combo.

Talent runs in the family, the environment is such that it nurtures the talent, etc.

Or it may be just dumb luck...
