The media wants to indoctrinate people and scare them into accepting further encroachments on their individual liberties and further regulatory burdens which are in the end quite Hegelian and end up creating the problems they're allegedly trying to solve.
Imagine living in the 1500s in a rural community. You look at someone the wrong way and there's a change you'll get slaughtered and cut into pieces.
People are more intelligent now. Less self sufficient, but definitely more intelligent. People worry more about the consequences that come with killing others and since death isn't as much of a constant part of their life like it was way back when, they're more protective of other human life and more morally against murdering someone which should go without saying.
