A Word to the Wise about "Taking the Bait" from the Media

Remember, be cautious about what you see and hear; particularly things are alarmist and/or reactionary.  Listen to a variety of sources. Be grounded in your faith and understanding.  Consider strategies that are available to you.  Well-intended reactions may cause undue interest, misdirection and lend unwarranted legitimacy to groups who want attention and easy rewards.
