- We watch news coverage of terrorism because we think it'll make us better informed about how to keep ourselves safe. But what if it does the opposite?

For most Americans, terrorism is only ever experienced through a television screen or front page of a newspaper. Many Americans rely on cable news in the wake of high-profile tragedies, and news networks see ratings spikes in the wake of terrorist attacks. Those ratings incentivize news networks to sensationalize their coverage, repeatedly airing graphic images of violence and combing over the excruciating details of attacks. That kind of news coverage causes Americans to overestimate the danger posed by terrorism, and our heightened fear can have serious consequences, causing us to overreact, pursue unhelpful security measures, and rally behind politicians who embrace over-the-top responses to terrorism.

Its scary to see how america covers "news".
Gert Verhulst Are you Dutch / Belgian?
Gert Verhulst - it's all to sell us things. That's why American football/gridiron is our national sport (lots of breaks for commercials) and the news is so sensationalized (longer viewership).
My husband and I stopped paying for TV 6 years ago and haven't looked back since. Independent media without commercials (like YT Red) make our lives fairly advertising free.
tardistardis8 yeah
umiluv also it's so stupid how newscasters trow theirs opinions around, that wouldn't happen where I live
Cool! I'm Belgian!
Wait food is more dangerous than terrorism???
I'm so afraid of food now I'm never eating it again. We should put a temporary ban on food until we figure out what the hell is going on.
rk9sbpro83
Yeah I'd rather prefere some dirty asian man to cut my head off than eat food, duh
+Canster Meat thats racist imao:)
let us build walls around farms.
At least food isn't mutilating female genitals and oppressing swathes of people in the middle east or destroying priceless historical artifacts. Really puts your priorities into perspective doesn't it?
Random Guy I guess you don't see mine unless your butthurt
People around me are worried about "terrorism" meanwhile i'm worried about how the fear of terrorism is slowly taking away the rights of everyone.
Face Palm not taking, but giving them away for perceived safety
Exactly. Terrorists probably feel at least slightly triumphant if their attack makes news; acts of terrorism are meant to scare the targeted people into acting politically in their favor. The best option I can think of for fighting terrorism is to stop letting terrorism scare you. They're like bullies, except far more dangerous.
Benjamin Franklin said it best:
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
*cough* TSA *cough*
@@Hav0k but isn't that everywhere? The law prevents total liberty for the safety of others. So does no one deserve it?
Funny GLOBAL WARMING dosent get into top 10 fears
But Obamacare does. And fear of gun control is greater than the death or illness of a loved one. 'Murica!
@ElephantsLover I think he means to say terrorism happens really fast and packs a big punch that is hard to ignore while global warming slowly messes us up until we've been killed.
Global warming doesn't exist. If it did we'd be dead. By the time it affects anyone we'll all be dead. Argue with me please.
Way to many uneducated trump cult member living in America that's why they think climate change gonna disappear magically. Lol
@@nolz2381 The fact that all hurricanes are already much more severe since the industrial revolution indicates that we're already affected by it but most people just don't want to recognize danger because it makes them feel uncomfortable *cough *cough Americans
To all the people who are saying that this is anti trump, it's not, this is just the truth. It's sad when the truth is close enough to being anti a politician that people confuse the 2
But daddy is protecting them because they are so scared and need a safe space.
im not atrump supporter and absolutely abhor trump am am myself very left leaning but i must say... we didn't get such response from liberal media outlets on obamas policy on use of drones
"I dream of a world where the truth is what shapes people's politics, rather than politics shaping what people think is true." -Neil deGrasse Tyson
Sankalp Kala - independent media did. Cable news is owned by corporations which own the government. You can't rely on cable news.
fyukfy i agree for once with vox
people don't care about being safe
people care about feeling safe
evolution is not about being the fittest it's about being fit enough..
I'd like to modify that to "..being fitting enough" since Evolution must not be perceived being about physical strength but being best adapted to your environment.
Astra7525 yes.. you are right
This video isn't about Islamic Terrorism. This video isn't about Left or Right viewpoints. It is about taking into consideration, that the media are using fearmongering tactics for their own benefit and you should be aware of that when you watch such reports.
You perceive it as a threat, because it erodes your confidence in your already held viewpoints.
Because its messages is bright and clear: Be aware of your own biases induced through skewed perception of things.
LegendLength
There's plenty of terrorism in the name of Christianity. Where's Christianity's effort to remove extremists? Where is the Christian Peace Council located?
And as for your first question, I don't know, but that's exactly what you were suggesting for Islamic terrorism. If you are going to hold "Islam" responsible for "removing extremists", then you should also hold Christianity to the same standard.
The timing of this video is impeccable
Ingo Miguel ikr
byrne1et well actually, I live in Pakistan. you're not entirely wrong, terrorism is much worse on this side of the world (although in Pakistan at least the situation has become a lot better in recent years, comparatively), but even my relatives from abroad would call us before we even found out about an attack/bomb/tragedy here because it's so amplified on the news, that it really does look like the world is crumbling. So even though you are partially correct, so is the video. the situation always looks much worse when it's being broadcasted so much.
The video isn't saying that you should stop worrying about terrorism and terrible things in general. When you overreact, this can slowly change how you think about things in general, and you overlook the better ways or more strategic ways to solve it. Of course, that doesn't mean you can't worry about it, It's mostly since the people want to know more about the world (from the "obvious" choice, the news) so the free new channels can give you that.
People will also think it is more interesting to watch action filled things (not all of course) than watch a segment over... the recent updates on school lunch food.
But......... I'm just telling you that some people should research the whole story. :-)
turn off the TV, get the updates online only.
Raven L best and most practical solution
The problem is also very much with how media works. I went through journalism school right after 9/11 (not a coincidence) and it took me 10 years to figure out I was trained as a soldier in an army of journalists that reinforce the status quo. People wanna watch scary stuff, and journalists are trained to feed it to them.
Ya same my dad works for ABC news and he said that they are encouraged to report or find story's of things we are stereotypically scared of and make it more extreme
Why did you decide to go to journalism right after 9/11? Do you mean it was a coincidence?
It turns out that Capitalism encourages this.
Why do you use the word 'media' as a single form though? If you attended journalism school, at least you know the word 'media' is plural right? 'How media work' for instance.
Bram Naus -_-
This is one facet of why I fear a budget cut to public broadcasting. Non-profit and publicly funded news organizations, like NPR, experience less pressure for sensationalism. I rely on them for daily coverage, especially in times of chaos.
NPR gets fuNding from George soros so they are liars too.
True Dat can you link to an NPR article that you would say is a lie?
Branden Wedwick You have it exactly backwards. Our money, tax money, your money funds public access. It's yours! Like parks are yours to use. They even have funding drives to get more public funding for god sake. The elite and powerful run the news networks, it's all based on ratings and advertising. They are selling you a product and a set of ideas that you agree with so you watch it. They build long arching narratives so that you get drawn in.
Yeah I kinda feel bad that Americans don't have like a news network like euronews that just shows local newaround Europe in your language and then most terror attacks around the world are give the same priority as the moments are held in the no comment section every 15 min and it just no present or voice raw video clips of the event with subtitles telling the story like they let you take you own opinions of what's happening and it almost more more scary but it seems less attacking and fear mongering then cable networks. But it probably helps that I'm Irish and Loyalist and ira terrorism is almost more likely not see Islamic terrorism as much of a threat
Branden Wedwick you run the government as well. It's not scary it's revolutionary! We shouldn't be afraid of our government they should be afraid of us! I'm honestly more afraid of these corporations than I am the government, they at least are occasionally governed by morals and not dollar signs.
why is 35.5% of people afraid of Affordable Care Act "Obamacare"? I would be more afraid of what's replacing it.
Fact. But that's how all insurance works. The more people buy into is, the less it will cost for everyone, and the healthier our nation will physically be.
The less people buy into it, the higher the costs, and the less people will be able to afford it and the physically sicker our nation will be. :c
Joe There's nothing affordable about Obamacare unless you are a poor pleb.
Well Filip Jakachi, perhaps you too should be a poor pleb.
Git Gud
Joe because middle class and high class people are worried about paying taxes for other people's health. And they believe that poor people should pay for their own health care.
I understand that... but that only gives them extra money in the short term, with so many negative consequences. People will die. And without our sick people getting better, like Teh End said, it's only going to spread to more and more people and start a negative spiral. We need a solution that helps everyone... but I don't know exactly what.
Gun control is the fifth most feared, that's a bit ironic.
Not if you know about the massacres of Zeitoun, Sasun, Van, Mush, Pontic Greece, etc.
Yes Im sure you can measure that.
Ironic that you whine about guns but all the things in this video about fear mongering apply directly to wanting to ban guns the same way people want to ban immigrants.
theknifesong To some extent I agree, guns themselves are certainly not the root of the problem, but studies show that increasing gun control decreases gun violence, and that's what we all want, right?
@@tasmanmillen yup
3:52 anybody care to explain why obamacare is on that list
don't touch me it makes people poor
don't touch me since obama care was made, poverty has risen to 19% from 14%
And because anything with the name "obama" on it should be avoided like the plague.
Because daddy Reagan told the Americans that socialised medicine meant communism and enslavement for all
Because it drove up everyone's premiums %110 and made thousands of Americans lose their health insurance plans.
I'm from Pakistan. And I'm sorry on behalf of entire pakistan for the San Bernadino attack.
We strongly condemn it and most of us aren't like those but it's sad the attackers were from Pakistan.
Sorry.

danial tahir Ok next time target it on Trump's house
John F Kennedy I'm a doctor and it bugs me that someone using my country name would do something that horrific.
And since there's San bernadino footage in the start of the video so I'm taking this opportunity to say Sorry on behalf of Pakistanis.
danial tahir Pakistan is the most dangerous country.!!
don't have to apologise ever, man.

I'm not sure if everyone appreciates these videos fully. Thank you for making them. It is SO important for more people to understand what's really going on.
The simplest thing to do, despite what the professor says, is to just stop watching news on tv. Trust me, it's super easy. Just... stop. Quit cold-turkey. Wouldn't that shut you off from the world? No! Just read the papers every morning! It's way more wholesome and sober coverage because the reporters have actually had some time to reflect on and analyse the stories they're reporting. Plus, you get great op-ed pieces and stuff.
news is just sensationalism..nothing more
I did that for a while after 9/11, & permanently after drumpf began his birther bs. I don't miss it whatsoever. To learn what goes on, I consult the most scientifically UNbiased sources I can find. It's a wonderful thing.
Yeah tv news is lowkey junk food for your brain
this guy is an insanely good writer (if he is the one writing this stuff) great work
Too early to comment something about the video, just in time to comment something stupid.

Adam Ruins Everything did a really good segment on security theatre too, but I like how Vox put their own spin on it. Really good video :D
Really like how Vox related security theatre to Trump, which I didn't really think about and Adam Ruins Everything didn't do
LegendLength "Left wing?" This video was anything but. I honestly thought that this was one of Vox's most impartial videos on politics. It even said that CNN doesn't show news correctly. Thought that was everything Republicans wanted.
He interviewed the same guy for it as Vox, too.
LegendLength okay, so first of all, you've obviously been indoctrinated to believe that whatever Trump is doing with security theatre is actually helpful to security. I'm puzzled - what does it accomplish other than spread fear and make him seem like he solution to those fears he creates?
It isn't about the party you support it's providing unbiased information that neither stands with trump or against him. Give the news how it is. He is a democrat clearly and that's fine but the problem is, he pushes his ideas and his opinions on current affair/social issue news while criticising CNN. He is hypocritical and people think it's okay because it comes off as social progression.
Provide correct and unbiased information
THANK YOU!! Thanks for being one of the ONLY channels that doesn't clickbait their titles.

And an attack in Stockholm
Crazy how London experienced their own terrorist attack a few days after this video was released.
Who came back to this video after the attack in London?
These videos are always made so well
Because Vox is DATA. CNN Fox news BBC, etx is not

@@jesperhammarlund300 I agree with you but the way that you say it feels like a Trump supporter supporting Trump
the chances of you or someone you know dying in a attack are virtually 0 yet my couisin died in London today
the timing on this vid man
Luka Vidmar I'm so sorry for your loss. While they are nearly zero, they're slightly above zero therefore some people die. It's a clear attack, which makes sense for why we so want to defend ourselves that we jump to the wrong solution.
Once again, sorry for your loss, and I hope you and your family fall in the beneficial statistical majority.

@@rawgameplaysstock what kind of choice: maybe is let the others die?. You pay a lot of military taxes and u cry for not letting other usa ppl die
After the attacks in 2016 I was genuinely scared and concerned for my brother and sister who live in London. This is what they want. Fear. And the reaction to be hateful to people of a certain ethnic background or religion makes things worse. What good does it do to alienate innocent people who may (not saying all) then feel like outsiders and become these "lone wolves".
TV is for old people. It will die with them.
And for the new generations they are going to get sophisticated algorithms that will subliminally brainwash them into believing that a choice was made by them.
yeah - social media is so much better at news!
tiscover haha good one xD
Aldo well atleast we have social media news even better right?
So true. I never watch the TV. The internet brings me all the news in it's own special way.
‘ we’re not very good at maths’ like ok I didn’t come here for a personal attack
This popped up in my feed. Although this is from 2017 it might be worth the effort to update and re-post this topic as it relates to the Capital Riot.
excellent video for people to stop fear-mongering and to start understanding the facts
As much hate as they get. Vox is sort of killing it right now. Great job with this one.
Security theater. Like that goddamned wall.
Trudat! Adam Ruins Everything did a great segment on that.
This is why I don't watch the news on TV anymore. I try to get my news from the internet and try to realize which ones are clickbait and which ones are reality. Not only does my life end up being calmer, but it also lets me live without worrying about leaving the house and travelling.
no i wouldnt spend that much time invested in a terrorist attack, i honestly wouldnt care enough, plus i dont watch tv. my caring wont help the problem, so id only be wasting my time.
Rinoa Super-Genius agreed
we don't watch tv. when we first quit we kept dreaming we were watching tv.
I completely agree that such reporting on terrorism just stokes fears of people, which often decreases their personal happiness and feelings of safety. Yet this is not only true for terrorism, but many other topics as well. Pretty much all topics that cause a strong emotional reaction, one that can not be easily reasoned away. Other examples are the rise in Hate Crimes or stories about Trump Russia connections. Stoking fear brings clicks, brings views.
If you now feel like you have to disagree, ask yourself why. Terrorism is a hate crime, the most malicious form of a hate crime. Other hate crimes are statistically just as unlikely to affect you, so why would the reason be different for those? Yet they often get heavily reported on as well.
Fear is one of the easiest emotions you have to manipulate people. It's hard to make them "love" you, but it's easy to make them fear something. News and politics loves to use these innate human behaviors. Fear based narratives are the strongest ones usually. The right side in America is currently loving to use fear of foreigners - be it due to economical pressure or terrorism. The left side is using fear of Trump and a re-emerging of so-declared fascist ideas and policies. Black Lives Matter is to a great deal based on fear of police, of them being racist and abusing power. White Identity politics are based upon a fear of being displaced, of losing their own culture and identity.
Fear is far too often what makes people political - and the policies and decisions they make due to fear are illogical. It's not just an terrorism.
Actually, statistically, hate crimes are thousands of times more common in America than Islamic terrorism is.
Hate crimes are definitely more common than terrorism, already per definition. Terrorism is always a hate crime AFAIK, but not every hate crime is terrorism. Just doing a very basic look at the latest official numbers (I know Wikipedia is a bad source) there are 18 deaths from terrorism in the US in 2014 and 5,479 hate crimes. At a population of 300+ million, both are statistically insignificant and it's incredibly unlikely to ever impact your life. Yet for both of these topics the perceived threat is far bigger than the actual one due to the excessive reporting and media coverage.
+True Dat Evidence?
This is what people need to hear. Thank you Vox
Damn, I watched this and hours later the London UK Parliament attack took place
Watched this video 2 days ago then the terror attack on London happened 🙁
i automatically question the event before outright believing it.. thats the first thing EVERYONE should do .. TTFD
You have the most consistently insightful, persuasive and useful videos on TH-cam. Everybody should see them.
Carlos Maza - I really appreciate your documentation / storytelling style. Thanks for being an amazing Vox news caster!
I don't find the terrorism in the news scary, I find brexit and the dismantling of the welfare state, nhs and public infrastructure by our conservative government scary.
this is neither PRO trump or ANTI trump. consider that before your rating ;)
Did you even watch the video? They obviously pointed out some of Trump's policies and claimed they were false hope
Caleb N. That's pointing out facts. Saying certain policies won't work is not the same as saying a politician isn't fit to run a country.
Crazed Buttstabber Saying certain policies won't work is an opinion. Well, unless they are time travelers... I highly doubt that
Caleb N. So if I say human rights shouldn't exist, you can't say it's a stupid idea unless you're a time traveler? Cool logic 10/9
Crazed Buttstabber the thing is, we already have experience with that. With some of Trump's policies we also have experience with in history books. Many walls have worked just like some of his other policies, but some are new that we just don't know if they'll work. We can make an educated guess, but we will still have to wait to know the truth
yo I know this is very serious content but this is just to say that carlos is adorable and makes my day even when discussing terrifying serious content
I remember a terror attack happening for the very first time in my country. The people who lived nearby the site were posting in Facebook about how there were gunshots and screams of 'Allahuakbar' and they were terrified, so me and my cousins knew before it reached the media. We turned on the TV, and we were terrified about how many people were killed including police officers.We were supposed to go out, and the site of the attack was one of our destinations. My cousin's friend luckily survived even though he was in the site. The more terrifying fact was that the terrorists were people our relatives knew; like my cousin's cousin's best friend and my brother's classmate back at middle school, but luckily I didn't know anyone and these incidents ceased to take place. Note that these terrorists were from their late teens to early teens. Holy crap.
I watched this the day of the London Bridge attack
My brain is terrorism
Freakin' Shyamalan twist.
a casual name Terroism is my brain
This came out at a bad time. RIP to those attacked in England yesterday due to terrorism.
I live near San Bernardino, I was 3 miles away from the attack when it happened. Police response made me feel safer. News networks gave me anxiety.
"...causes us to pursue security measures that sound good but don't actually make us safer".
Sounds like gun control to me.
Lol
Actually it does.
I'm glad I live in Britain, Go BBC!
Terrorist attacks have happened in Britain y'know...
Yes, but the BBC doesn't scaremonger
BBC is my primary News media to watch, listen. I daily listen BBC nepali news(Radio) and BBC worldwide on Tv
D George Yea but they're overly Left-cucked
But they’re one of the most trustworthy and impartial news sources in the world. Sure, it’s not perfect, but it’s better than a lot of other television services.
This is one of the best videos ever. The problem is that so many people just don't realize this, because no one ever told them or because they refuse to accept it. This is also why we need state-funded TV-channels, they are not depending on hyping the terror news.
This is the best series I've yet to see on Vox. Highly appreciate.
Oh what timing in the U.K.
The first thing you should do is ask yourself if it's real or not. Then ask yourself if they have shown you proof of what they're telling you happened. The news more often than not shows no proof of the stories they tell you.
Cameramanzoomit
It is kinda impossible to ask the news for a source because they *are* the source.
Most terrorist attacks on news networks are real. Other news, not so much.
I always compare events like these to car crashes, the news brushes over fatal accidents, and puts so much emphasis on other events, and even plane crashes.
Everyone who's sensible should share this everytime there's a terrorist scare.
let's hope people watch this whilst all the coverage about the London attacks escalate
After watching this video I fear humans.
I never watch news and I noticed that i’m one of the only people in my living space that isn’t scared or depressed by these attacks
Actually I don't feel stressed at all when I watch this kind of stuff. I do watch it to be informed, but mostly I watch tragedies on the News to watch history being made.
3:50 When Americans are just slightly more afraid of a loved one getting seriously ill than... Obamacare. Noah get the boat
Nice charizard hat
this applies to guns
As I watched this I learned that nearby, a local high-school was shot up. This video suddenly became a lot more real than I thought...
All our hearts here today go to those at Douglass high school.
This is like saying that even if a lot of people are concerned about global warming, it isn't a big deal because it's most extreme effects aren't hitting us now!!!
RELEVANT
This is what you get when a country doesn't have a cable network owned and paid by the state
Those cable networks cost taxpayers millions (maybe billions) of dollars annually, it seems like a waste of money when you can just add regulations to it. Look at England, they have 1 channel run by the government and taxpayer money (BBC) that I am almost certain has no infomercials and the rest is commercial bs on other channels. It is such a waste of money and resources to do that over the whole entire cable network. What if the government is corrupt and wants to brainwash the people? Look at what they own that everyone watches, it would be so easy. North Korea is a perfect example of this. At least with a free market its harder to do that (even though it is happening anyway)
we need to add regulations, that is it.

kripFX Not taxpayer money, TV licence.
Yes, cuz that would totally fix the problem.....
Partly yes, because then there would be a news channel that wouldn't need extreem kind of "clikbait" news to survive. Instead they can show issues that are more important (but a bit less popular).

the analysis is in depth and scientifically correct, and dives much deeper into to the problems than cable news coverage

quick to react to affirm ego without taking in all the info first
Regarding the pole: Who exactly did they pole for those numbers? I HATE seeing unsolicited stats/poll numbers because I have no idea the demographics or sample size. Based on that placement and numbers, I could almost argue that most people surveyed didn't have "loved ones" since over 60% didn't list "loved ones dying" or "loved ones seriously ill" as being a fear. Therefore they don't care about others or don't have people in their lives to care about.
Point is; polls are stupid and nearly worthless without any background about them.

poles don't often have numbers on them. Besides, they don't mention or even show a single pole in the entirety of this video.

muzza307 This is the second TH-cam video I have seen today where the host appears to have selected their shirt from a crumpled pile in the corner.

Mr. Maza, unfortunately, 5 person in London just got very 'lucky' with your "virtually zero chance" of dying due to terrorism.
One of the most eye-opening explainers from Vox
A terror attack just happened in London today. 3/21/17. 4 dead 20 injured
georgito chichato 40 injured
This posted 2 days before the London terror attack... WEIRD........
Please wake-up, sir.
what ?
To be fair, this has been known for a long time. Wasn't obsession with fear in TV news media the topic of that Fahrenheit movie?
But i feel the opposite tbh. I feel completely unaffected by violence in the world now,it doesnt surprise me nor scare me.
This is your brain on misinformation.
Oh, the irony.
That terrorist attack in Sweden last year really got to me. It happened only a few kilometers from where I was. It was scary because of how close it was to me.
Never really noticed all this until the London attack this morning.

Terrorism in 2016 - "Another one? Ok lol."

Except it totally misses the point that most terrorist attacks you see on the mainstream media are false flags or completely hoaxed psyops.
this was a great think piece, well done Vox

Amanda Bertelsen Yup, there is a terror attack somewhere everyday.
Since when is it a bad or immoral thing to not want terror attacks or something you could clown somebody about?
Coodie Plum this video said news is a terrorist
>>Since when is it a bad or immoral thing to not want terror attacks or something you could clown somebody about
it is not. what's bad is pouring resources in ineffective measures against terrorism, while ignoring more important threats and problems. and that is only possible because people are unjustifiably scared of terrorism (which is exactly the purpose of terrorism, actually, so nice of people doing exactly what terrorists want).
Try watching the video before you comment with your overreactive and fear-filled thoughts.
I think people are aware of how unlikely you are going to be killed by a terror attack but are more worried about what the future holds when people are willing to do it, and the number of potentials only seems to grow.
Well timed, Vox. Well timed.
But seriously, prayers to all people affected in London attacks.
