You've made a good point, and after I wrote that, I felt it was poorly expressed.
I'll try and articulate it better:
The News continually pummels the public with 'news' of traumatic events and incidents. They do this in a way that, over time, induces increased susceptibility to feeling traumatized, albeit in an unconscious and subconscious way, just below the surface. The public becomes desensitized, being led into a state of simply expecting to hear about bad and horrible stuff, all the time. This makes them ripe for all sorts of manipulation, with decreased resilience to negative influences, thoughts and ideas.
I think that in this sense, we, the public, are to a large extent 'traumatized' over and over by what we hear and see thought the 'News'. It's not shocking, because the process is intentionally executed over time. It's conditioning.
This interfaces with pushing, pulling and driving the public towards escape (Hollywood, TV, etc). So on the one hand, we are pummeled with bad news, often of what, if we experienced them personally, would be traumatic events. On the other hand, we are sold escapism in the form of 'entertainment' and consumerism (advertising).
This whole paradigm is harmful. It's also why real faith practice is so important. A person who is sincerely practicing religion will tune out of that paradigm more and focus on a wavelength that does the opposite: one which reinforces our natural optimism, our ability to resist negative thinking, and hopeful, constructive directions.
Hearing and watching the news doesn't seem like trauma in my view.
No, I agree in a sense. I don't think anyone experiences shocking trauma just by listening or watching a single news report. On the other hand, I do think that a core purpose of the Mockingbird propaganda machine 'News' is to, over time, indirectly traumatize the public with a constant barrage of news of what, if experienced personally, would be traumatic events.
How do you think Jesus would feel if he sat in front of the news and listened to it for a week? Would he be like, hey, that's just normal? It's not a big deal? Or would he weep?
The desensitized state the constant stream of news induces is a feature of trauma. Trauma will make you highly sensitized in some areas, but completely desensitized in others. People turn off their sensitivity as a means to coping with the intensity of the pain that trauma induces.
I don't know if its a stretch, but I think it might not be entirely unreasonable to say that by and large, the populations living in our so-called modern Western nations, having been under mental attack for decades upon decades, live in an semi-unconscious traumatized state.
It is that state of mentality that the COVID psyop tapped into. Did you ever wonder why is it that some people just didn't buy it all, and yet large swathes of the population bought into it completely? I think its probably got to do with the underlying, unobserved mental state that these different parts of the community were living with.
Yeah that makes sense. What you are describing reminds me of that "The plan to save the world" video by JoeM. I'm sure you've seen it.(https://rumble.com/embed/v49wiwx/) But it basically describes what you said. We are conditioned to think that violence, starvation, homelessness, dirty cities, war etc is normal and a part of the human condition.
The gradual desensitization, the constant negative news. All designed to put us in a lower vibrational state, thus easier to manipulate. Then as you said, people find escapes through entertainment, drugs, alcohol etc.

Yep.
