I had a high school English/Literature teacher who used to dismiss the class by saying "Go play in the street, children!" They also said "Don't watch anything that tells you how to feel."

Anyway, I feel like the human species has arrived at a time when we have the internet, without having a great way to deal with everyone's feelings.

Some news media orgs make junk food, some news media orgs make information poison - they make it harder to understand what is going on in the world.

"It's always in the last place you look" - if you already know how you FEEL about something, you don't have to think about it in information or factual terms at all. You don't have to keep looking.
