This is why I utterly detest media outlets who amplify those people by reporting on petty "shitstorms", giving them way more power than they deserve. Opinions on the internet are almost always extremely niche all things considered and do not represent the views of society at large, but the media makes it look like they do. |

My thoughts exactly when “highbrow” outlets like the NYT started making headlines out of every silly thing Trump said in 2015/2016. All those media sources who professed to be against what he stood for didn’t realize that the words were meaningless, and merely by reporting on his inanities, they were implicitly endorsing exactly what he stood for.
