Anyone else think this trope needs a new name? Its current name makes it far too easy for inexperienced tropers to erroneously assume that it refers to a specific type of subversion of ThisIsNoTimeToPanic, to the point where half the examples on the page seem to have very little to do with the actual trope. Perhaps something like Media Scare? Or ScaremongeringMedia?

Either way, at this point it\'s purely a matter of applicability since we agree there \'\'is\'\' a gap of some degree. I\'m willing to compromise and put it down as a Downplayed example if you are.
