11:04Now PlayingAmericans have a deeply distorted sense of danger, driven by media coverage that fixates on dramatic events and ignores the risks that actually threaten people’s lives. In this clip, we compare real causes of death to the amount of attention they receive, explain why homicide and terrorism dominate headlines despite being statistical outliers, and show how this feedback loop shapes public fear and bad policy. We also look at classic examples of irrational risk perception, from shark attacks to plane crashes, and why a little statistical awareness can go a long way.
