You are all the media's bitches, stoked up into a rage by experts and loosed onto the opinion columns and public forums with the precision of an arrow.

"The normal thing"? "All the violence and general shit"? Just how prevalent do you think this stuff is? Don't you realise that news shows and papers never represent accurate samples of society? They have a catchment zone of the entire country to filter all the most sales worthy news from, and it is downright naive to think this stuff is common or everywhere or getting steadily worse. Moral decline is a myth inadvertently created then deliberately propagated by improved reporting ability (if not quality). You are not using your heads when they exploit you this way, they are gunning for your most basic, primitive emotions, leading us to our most basic, primitive conclusions. This is what sells, after all.

Do not be suckered into it. It is a cheap trick that you should all be above.
