Spot on, Martin (and thanks for the “abby normal” bit, sadly few people will understand that these days). I’ve known that our “main stream” media outlets have been useless for a long time, but your point about click-bait explains it perfectly. Graduating college in the mid-80’s with an engineering degree in digital communications, I’d thought at the time that instantaneous global communications would foment global cooperation, peace, and productivity. Boy, was I wrong.
