The crazy big-media hype was mainly for the same old reason newsboys used to shout “FIRE!” or “MURDER!”
The “end of the world” is always a good topic to pique readers’ and TV viewers’ interest. Circulation and money drive big media.
Everyone would pay to learn about coming disasters. Remember how, a little while ago, they were telling us that more and stronger hurricanes would be coming every year?
