Weak minds with strong opinions [View all]
They took civics out of the schools, they got rid of the fairness doctrine, they made the news division part of the entertainment division, they created 24 hour "news" cycles, and they created algorithms to put people into bubbles.
We were all so much better off when we had the half hour evening news that was not part of the profit driven entertainment divisions and we had the point/counterpoint provided by the fairness doctrine.
It's no wonder that we are now surrounded by knuckle dragging idiots who are driven by hate and violence and have strong opinions combined with weak minds.
