The fear media uses the airwaves to create a constant environment of fear. People tune in and quickly develop an addiction to it. It's called "fear porn". Glenn Beck is just one of many that make use of this tactic. The programming is entertaining, but unlike the Rush Limbaugh of the old days (the 90's for all you kids out there), many of the new entertainers neglect to admit that is what their programs are, entertainment. Or more precisely, "amusement".
("a" being the prefix for "without" and "muse" meaning "thought". Without thought. Perfect description, as the programming is doing the thinking for you.)
The fear hustlers make money by selling advertisements to other companies who capitalize on a piggy backed scare tactic. It's how much of modern media works. From ISIS to Ebola to the illuminati and financial meltdown, it's just a way to sell you stuff. They are just applying the old saying "Never let a good crisis go to waste." And the stuff they are selling is over priced cheap goods that are easy to source and distribute, so their margins are huge. And they have to be in order to pay for all the advertising.
If you really want to prepare your family for an emergency, all it takes is a little research and maybe a trip to your local Mormon Store House and you can be pretty well prepared without all the fear that will end up just costing you money.
Turn off the talk radio and the TV while you make your plan, you'll come up with something much more reasonable, effective, and less expensive.

| Seriously, this is an email I got from Glenn Beck, "there hasn't been anything like it since a giant meteor wiped out the dinosaurs from the face of the earth" WOW!! Please take my money! |
