Was there ever a time where you doubted that the demand for junk news was the problem? I don't complain about "the media" because they are just following the incentives their viewers leave for them. "The media" was never exclusive to high brow, balanced journalism. It has always included the tabloid rags, celebrity gossip, useless trivia about sports, outrage inducing politics, etc.
