Jokes aside, my biggest complaint about what I have read in this thread is just a continuing problem of how suddenly 1 random asshole on Twitter becomes a whole movement/representative/problem.

Doubly so when it's some random unverified asshole on Twitter.

News (all news) needs to cut this whole "random folks saying shit on Twitter is news" thing. It really seems like over half of news articles have "outrage" or "hate" from random unverified Twitter accounts as a large part of the basis of their articles.

All it does it stir up hate because rather than ignore random assholes on the internet like we have done ever since there was an internet, now they get to be the focus of outrage news articles. That national attention will sure teach them that being a jackass doesn't pay, and that nobody cares about their message. So you're empowering assholes while also just stirring the pot for everyone else who reads the articles, never letting people just calm the F down for a day without outrage over something or another.

It's a terrible habit that the media (both sides) have picked up because it's a WAY easier and cheaper way to make a sensationalized story, and it's just reason #17,428 of why Social Media will be the cause for the collapse of our civilization.
