A big question I ask people is "Why do we feel less safe even though crime is at an all time low?" Not a lot of people have answers, and I think way too many people aren't aware of that fact. It's one of the safest times to walk through any downtown core, yet people feel the least safe they ever have.

The answer is the media.

It's not all of the media, it's editorialized news, opinion pieces, debate format shows, etc.

Yes, those are the media to which they are referring.

But it's not "the media" it's the heavily editorialized media. There are plenty of credible sources who remain neutral who don't deserve to be lumped in with the rest.

The problem is not everyone agrees on what exactly "editorialized" and "credible" means. You're making the same arguments they would make against you.
