See Max understands! Although earlier I was quizzing myself on media and crime policy stuff I've laid out and couldn't remember for the life of me who said that the media created a victimization of the elderly in the 1980s, so I did the one thing I could. "Well, when in doubt, say it was Surette (2007) because his book covers just about everything related to the media and crime, including defending the media from Criminologists. So I'm sure he said something about that, and then Gerbner (1987) would say that the media is helping to cultivate a worldview of the Social Construction of Reality and in effect is propitiating a Mean World Syndrome amongst the elderly where they become locked in a cycle of fear about victimization as they stay in their homes and expose themselves again and again to news about elderly victimization."

And Gerbner is a communications guy, not a Criminologist. :) I actually got some really weird stares at my last presentation involving media and crime, in Toronto when I started quoting the Society of Professional Journalists' code of ethics and the AP's eight points to a newsworthy story...I blame Gerbner and a PMer.

Which means he's probably all discombobulated about his researched authors, which means he'll get their identities all mixed up, which means his qualifiers will be in the ....

Never mind.


Forget I spoke.

Propitiating? .... or propagating? I think you might be startling to defuse your theological terminals with your criminally illogical terminals.
