re: How bad is the media overplaying their hand with the outrage of the week?

my heart says you're correct

my brain says social media and the advanced psychological manipulation used by the major media have warped too many brains

think of it like adrenaline junkies who have to go more extreme to get the dose. people have been primed for instant gratification and BOOMs/gotchas and require that. your best bet is that they lose interest in politics and their warped focus/responses go onto something else (like the Bachelor or a Kardashian show)
