Oh, the drama!
Why would someone watch 14 hours of hurricane coverage? That’s easy. We love train wrecks and we gravitate towards anything that will heighten our emotions – particularly fear. In other words, the ‘emotional hit’ we obviously lack in our routine day to day.
It’s just a shame the media panders to our weakest feelings, like a drug dealer continually enticing us into believing this high will be better than the last.
