The 46-page report said the infection and death of a
Liberian man in Dallas, and illnesses in two nurses that cared for him,
triggered disproportionate fear and hysteria in October and Novemver of 2014
that led to overly restrictive quarantine measures in many states that misled
the public.
In a forward to the report by Deane Marchbien, MD, president
of Doctors without Borders in the United States, said the report put
responsibility for the panic on political leaders—enabled by a “fear-mongering
mass media”—through ignorance or political expediency.”

What you said is a three hour conversation.
Let's just say I agree and that the media has no business shouting 'fire' when they should be giving people the information they need to keep calm and carry on. Panic serves no good purpose.
The media seems to live on "panic the public" instead of research the topic and THEN pass on useful and timely information.
