There's an overwhelming amount sometimes.

I wonder though if it seems to be a lot more because of how fast news travels makes it seem that way, just like news of violent crimes makes people everywhere think their area is a lot less safe than it is. We used to get local information, but now we get it all. The cumulative effect makes it seem more prevalent than it is. At least I can hope that may be applicable here.
