Bowling for Columbine- fear

Moore's film, Bowling for Columbine, ends on a clifhanger. He approprietly addresses problems that exist in America, but never really comes to a conclution. One of the points he discusses is the fear in America. He talks about the fear of poverty(the poor) and the fear of black males. The main agent that causes these fears is the media. The media thrives on crimes committed, especially in the past few years media coverage of crime has gone up, while the crime itself has decreased. They install this fear in people, because it gives them more ratings. People will watch the news more if they are afraid of the community, and for their family. I think there is something to fear, but not to the extent that the media, and people thrive on it.
