Are you insinuating that without the media coverage, it wouldn’t exist?

That's a hell of an edit you made to your comment there.
I'm insinuating that without media coverage I would not notice it.
If an accidental nuclear explosion had killed 50,000 people in April and the resulting fallout was continuing to kill > 1,000 people/day, I'm not sure you'd be calling media coverage "fear porn". Though I don't know, maybe you would, and we simply disagree on the tone of coverage.
