| 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. 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. |

Well put pokoko! We live in a 24 hour news world where time has to be filled and any subject becomes an issue to rant about from some perspective.
