"It is impossible to escape the prevailing ethos of modern media. And that ethos is overwhelmingly nihilistic. There isn't a single day that goes by without at least one story completely dedicated to the proposition that armageddon — inevitable, unavoidable armageddon — is right around the next bend in the road. And while one story does not a nihilist make, a minimum of 365 stories per year — a wildly optimistic total based on only one sky-is-falling-story per day — can erode the stoicism of even the most dedicated optimist."
