Ferg,
I might throw in here that my initial email had two thoughts. One was 
the cure needed to stop this never ending data loss and breaches. The 
other was an after thought of this and how news is presented today. 
Hence, I used FEAR and MEDIA together.

American news is all Hollywood. Its driven by MONEY. It uses fear to 
drive it. This can be easily proved. I am not blaming the media for 
reporting it. But on how they are reporting this and other news in the 
modern sensational way. Where did Walter Cronkite go!!!
