its not just the media though
look at what the government has done in the last few years.

Couple of passionate dudes fly a plane into a building a few a long long way away and we get a couple thousand new laws, reduced freedom of speech and rights to protest.

Interesting, as 15-20 years ago when we were being bombed on a regular basis by the IRA the only things I remember was Gerry Adams voice not allowed to be broadcast and all the metal bins near public transport vanishing.
