is it as bad as this movie?

im somewhat sceptical of the media which really seems to be getting off on painting it as literally doomsday. but I have a deep suspicion of the media in general and know they like to stir stuff up and get people terrified.. so im conflicted to how bad it really is and will get.. according to the media we are already at this movies level of doomsday scenario. next week it will be WWZ (funnily enough the far left Channel 4 news actually played the WWZ score for a Corona special today - that's what really made alarm bells ring for me as regard to the media stirring shit).. then it'll be I Am Legend/Omega Man and week after Mad Max. then finally it'll be Planet of the Apes time

what do you think? am I being really dumb in thinking the media is up to no good.. or not?
