The problem is exacerbated when news articles are simply a series of tweets from random people outraged at a particular subject that are then cut and pasted and then deemed a news "article".I really despise what social media and news reporting has devolved to.
Hedges: End of literacy and rise of spectacle.
A problem across the entire political spectrum and society as a whole.
Yes, I know its cheaper for publications to turn Twitter outrage into a three page news story than to actually hire investigative journalists, but it has gotten ridiculous.
