The "tabloidisation" of news, despite the value some see in it, still bothers me. It might still provide us with tools to discover our own morality and ethics, but it's still a lot of stories with loose facts, like a fairytale with its grain of truth. Some point to the 'bozo' factor of humanity, thinking that's all we're capable of, but I think that if you talk to someone as if they're stupid, they will be stupid. Why not give people more credit? Perhaps if you taught them better, they'd be capable of more. Rather than thinking down, think up.
