I share your apathy. We can't lay all the blame on the media though. They're just giving The People what they want. As long as people keep demanding sensational, emotional, echo chambery garbage then that's what mass media will give them because that's what sells.

It is up to the individual to choose how they want to be informed, and unfortunately many people are undereducated or ignorant or both. Early education is key but I don't have much hope for that either. They want us just smart enough to run the ratrace but dumb enough not to question a needle up our asses.
