re: #389 Killgore Trout

You might be right but the hysteria, hype, misinformation and conspiracy theories are very dangerous. In the long run it might be for the best but I’m not so sure.

Possibly not - but we can think of examples where people talked about the danger of similar situations that we’d look back upon now as seminal events.

Why waste time lamenting reality? I thought that you dabble with Zen philosophy.

The problem for me is when people try to blame the media for simply reflecting underlying reality. Reminds me of when people try to blame rap music for violence among black youth.
