Is news outlets using sensationalist headlines and words to describe incidents/events. I.e. the evacuation of Birmingham airport.. with one news outlet using the word “chaos” as people are being evacuated from the terminals. Here is a definition of chaos a state of utter confusion or disorder 1. a state of utter confusion or disorder; a total lack of organization or order. However, in the videos I’ve seen, people are complying with orders to evacuate and despite the natural sense of nervousness, they are responding in a calmly and orderly fashion to leave the terminals etc. I do think we are often short changed by modern day news reporting and no wonder modern day society lives in a heightened state of hyper vigilance. Makes me wonder where it’s all going if we don’t all eat ourselves beforehand. [Post edited 23 Oct 2024 14:53]
