Scaremongering

Anyone catch the promo ad for Sunday Night (SN) tonight..in particular the story about an Asteroid passing close to the Earth. The way they have advertised the story is scaremongering...using words like 'The Asteroid is hurtling towards the Earth.' and titles like 'Collision Course'.

Well they could tone down the rhetoric...some parts of their story were actually interesting but were over shadowed by the graphics and the what if's.

You honestly can't expect the media to do anything right, unless it is SBS or ABC maybe
