> I think it's the media's fault for this Sort of, but not completely in my opinion. In some sense they give people what they want, the same as Facebook giving people content that they "engage" more with (which is often negative). Asking the media companies (who are as profit driven as anyone else) to be the adults is like asking social media companies to do the same. When it comes down to it, they will optimize for profit, and if not enough people are really interested in good journalism and reporting, that will get cut and replaced with sensationalism.
