I think you've gotten the wrong takeaway message from "The boy who cried wolf story".
At some point, there were indeed wolves, so dismissing the chance of them because of fradulent/failed prior warnings turned out to be a mistake.
Plus, in 2022 it's more accurate than ever. Though of course, Rome didn't decline in a day, either...
The take away isn't to always listen, but to not always exaggerate/lie. The reader never got impacted by the wolves, the speaker did. So in the end, maybe the ones impacted will be the media, not the readers.
This isn't a boy who cried wolf story, this is a business model that is toxic and makes money of peddling fear and have been for decades.
