please show me the media that does not over sensationalize everything. i have travelled all over the world and lived out of the US for most of the last 7-8 years and there is no such thing as a media that is not "full of it" - there is only media which you agree and dissagree with, thus you give more credibility to those news sources which support or are consistent with your own views.
Not sure in which countries you were, but the US media is the only one cluttered all over with documentaries about crimes, shows like Cops and so on. This simply does NOT exist in germany, belgium, france or england in the way it does in the US. (could only say about those 4 because I know tv in those 4)...

Of course, news shows violence in some degree everywhere, but the point here is that in the US its all over the place.
