Fearmongering in the media

      Yesterday I was listening to a podcast that was supposedly centered around health and there was a lot of fearmonging going on.  This show started off with nothing but misinformation, half-truths and a lot of scare tactics.  The woman presenting the information at times seemed confused her self so I just clicked off of the video.  

In this day and age we need to be very careful of the media we digest.  That may be media online, offline, mainstream, podcasts, radio shows, etc.  Many people are using fearmongering tactics just to draw people to their platform.  More viewers mean more money.  Have discernment.
