I mentally avoid a bunch of American newspapers because every article I see from them could be about a dozen people on social media. The New York Times is especially guilty of this. A dozen people tweet that they're moving somewhere, and suddenly "X are moving in droves to Y". A dozen people stop doing something, and suddenly it's "the death of X". A dozen people do something dumb and suddenly it's "we need to stop X" or "we need to talk about X" like it's 30 percent of the population.
