Back on June 1, I wrote about shark attacks being a dog bites man story. That is, they are not newsworthy. It is sheer sensationalist news, meant to scare people and sell newspapers. Yesterday, FoxNews backed me up. Statistics show that you are much more likely to be killed by bees, lightning, or even falling coconuts. More people are either injured by their own toilet, or die in their bathtubs every year, yet they never make front page news.
