One Of The Greatest Phenomenom's Ever Invented

Mean World Syndrome is a phenomenon whereby violence-related content of mass media makes viewers believe that the world is more dangerous than it actually is

This is also called the “Bad-News Bias” in social psychology. People who watch the news and crime procedurals more frequently are more likely to view the world as a dangerous place, although violent crime rates have dropped steadily over the past few decades. One explanation is a 24-hour news cycle funded through advertisements that is incentivized to highlight violent crime that captures our attention. Similarly, a large proportion of the population fears mass shootings, since they are widely reported in the media, while over ⅔ of tens-of-thousands of gun deaths are due to suicide.
