...Hmmm... lots of grist here for the mental mill. <br /><br />My first-person protagonist, a young farm wife, discovers the body of her closest female friend, who had disappeared under a cloud of suspicion. Naturally she is shocked and wants to find the killer and clear her friend's name.<br /><br />She can't very well deny the death, having clapped eyes (and nose) on the corpse.<br /><br />Anger, definitely.<br /><br />How might the bargaining play out...?<br /><br />Thanks for an intriguing angle, Robert.

And while the packaging of fear as a political tool is as old as politics itself, it is the merging of said politics with the 24-hour news cycle that has created this particular Frankenstein's monster. <br /><br />Fear and sensationalism, after all, is what has always sold the news, from Hearst's newspapers to Murdoch's brand of "journalism". If it bleeds, it leads - now just add the political angle and you have left and right talking points.<br /><br />Maybe we could learn a lesson from Peter Finch in Network.
