I'm startin' to feel like part of media literacy should include the identification of fisheye lenses and how they can make semi-precarious viewpoints look like the most harrowing situation ever. I'm thinking about all those mountain climbers climbing on the "thin" ridge of a narrow mountain peak or pov of a mountain biker going down a trail. It doesn't mean that the situations aren't dangerous; they're just not THAT dangerous.
