You're last paragraph betrays any point you're trying to make. The world is not more complicated, it's wearisome to hear people use it as an excuse. I personally think there's a valid point that journalism has eroded to near nothing. There are a handful of sites on the internet that serve as defacto sources of authoritative news. News that can be trusted. Not fox, not cnn, not msn, certainly not yahoo . We live in an era of marketing, tabloid and celebrity Sensationalism masquerading as news. It's clearly, as the present article indicates, the situation is being actively exploited by state actors, to the detriment of us all.
