I recently made a video about angels and the common belief that they have some level of involvement in our lives here on Earth. In order to make the video I had to do a bit of research on the subject and by the time I was finished one thing was abundantly clear to me, the freaking news media is obsessed with them.
Now if we are going to be adult about this, then we know that of course their are no angels or miracles and only small children actually believe in such things. And yet the media time and time again treats reported stories of such things as though the involvement of an angel is a truly viable possibility, as though there is a good chance that a positive outcome to a potentially tragic situation could have been the result of angelic intervention.
When can we stop being childish about shit like this? If you want to talk about angels and unicorns that's fine, but do it where it belongs, like preschool for example.
What do you guys think? Should the media be presenting supernatural occurrences as a possible credible explanation for the outcome of a news event?
And also, considering that there is almost always a much more likely and logical explanation for these types of events, why do news outlets so readily feed into sensationalizing the story by promoting a fictional concept as "news"?
Here is a link to the video project I was researching for.
