Misinformed maybe.
Nothing like a good drug scare to get people angry or scared. Not only is there the fear that your kids could be taking meow meow or whatever the fuck they decided it was called, but also some junkie might come along and nick all your stuff or punch a granny for her pension. Media representation always seems to focus on the end result - junkies. And of course we can all feel superior to them because they're basicaly scum aren't they? Aren't we successfull?

The media as a whole doesn't realy like to challenge peoples preconceptions much, or try to make people think, or present different or new ideas about how to tackle the entire problem. Its there to entertain first, inform second.
