After seeing the music video for this, it is definately about how the media "fuels the fire", making things seem worse than they are, and downplaying real news. Notice how all of the cameras spew flames, adding to the inferno. Also, notice all of the headlines while Greg the newscaster is onscreen. Its just a bunch of irrelevant clippings, and the one that caught my attention most, "You are not being brainwashed."
From what i can tell, this song is about the media distracting us with exaggerations to take our minds off of the real news.
