But what of the 24/7 newsmedia narrative? What of the outrage cycles on Facebook and Twitter? If we cannot IMMEDIATELY and without consequence ruin peoples lives then what are we doing here?
The thing is we have to acknowledge that it cuts across the board from the far left to the far right and everything inbetween. Independent Media too, this is not an entirely new thing but it has certainly become more widespread in the last few years. It is not so much that one should question everything, more that it is often good practice to not believe everything is kosher before passing or sending it on. It is like the far end of a Chinese whisper is now the starting point and people have started to invent personal news to fulfill their own vision of how the world works.
