It's natural for newspapers, magazines, and the media in general to use sensationalist headlines. Start off with a bang, and all that. Even their stories are going to be a bit too much of this and have too little of that.

I've come to the conclusion that if ANYTHING is alarmist, or whatever the opposite of alarmist is, it's not as bad or good as they make it seem. No one wants to admit that the world we live in is average, as well it should be. All the teen abstinence article says is that we're all pretty much the same, but who wants to read that?

Moderation in everything, I say.
