OK, crazy.

I think there's two trains of thought - in the media you either have the taekmongers who will spout off any contrary point just to get people talking about them going against the grain, and the other is to post what everyone wants.  People want to either feel superior by pointing and laughing at the dummy who posted stupid online or feel smart because the person who does this for a living thinks exactly as they do.

Media's job is not to inform, it's to draw eyes to their medium so that ad space can be sold. Whatever gets the views is what they're going to play to.

That is absolutely not true.  Can you cite any evidence of that?

@circumstantial and hearsay, but that is still technically evidence, right?@
