Yeah ... everyone keeps talking about how the audience reacts to stuff that is given to them

No one ever asks who is giving / controlling / managing / manipulating the content that is given

This is like a rat experiment and the scientists keep analyzing the rats reactions and never talk about what they are giving the rats. If the rats are going bat shit crazy because they keep pumping them with sugar, amphetamines and cocaine ... is it any wonder that the rats in a cage are going nuts?

Communications media and social media is controlled by a very small number of private corporations that have little to no control from governments or state organizations ... the media companies basically have all the control of the content we consume, see and react to. We are only reacting to what we are seeing ... what we are seeing is controlled by a small group of corporations.

We aren't the problem

They are.
