| pokoko said: I think we've really gotten to the point where the media, which purposefully tries to sensationalize events and create controversy in order to generate interest, has changed the way many people view the world. They can spark outrage over nearly anything now. Because of that, it's become a culture that flies into a tizzy at the drop of a poorly referenced article. We're seeing this a lot in sports, as with Micheal Sam or Tim Tebow, where the media and all the white-knighting actually create the problem. If it wasn't for people getting upset and overreacting about everything, there would be a lot less to get upset and overreact about. I really wish more people would stop letting the media and/or groups with agendas manipulate them. We're developing into a culture that feasts on pseudo-outrage when we're told to do so. It's painful to watch. |

Its probably because of the switch to digital media from print media.
