It's why I don't watch news on TV anymore. They are just selling advertising not presenting the news.
Example I usually go to McDonnalds everyday and buy one of their sweat teas. They always have either Fox or CNN on depending which one I go to. Usually the one I go to has CNN on and everyday for the last month it's something about IS or Ebola..
However one day last week I had to laugh my ass off because they managed to get Ebola and IS in the same report.. Was a flashy headline called "Ebola the The ISS of bio threats".
It's just a joke, none of them even try anymore, it's just about keeping people glued to the TV to sells ads. The easiest way to do that is to scare them and use shock jock radio tactics.
