If you ever plugged your ears while screaming "I can't hear you" then you know one form of denial is to pretend something is wrong with the message, not with the media (method of delivery). The same could be said for closing your eyes and trying to stay in the dark while ignoring a visible danger. Newscasts and marketing have biases for moving specific agendas to the forefront.
It is discomforting that disregard of a non-imminent threat can be more efficient than working to solve the problem. Why are we so willing to trust someone who says "What you don't know won't hurt you."
