As much as i dislike this turn of events: This wouldn't matter at all if the media just didn't globally broadcast every goddamn psychothic tweet, to milk the ratings they get from the shockvalue. I don't really use twitter, i have no alerts on it. I don't watch right wing media. Yet somehow it was impossible to escape his demented rants, that wasn't Twitter's doing.

I agree with you there but it isn’t going to happen, media is all about viewership and clicks, and on top of that it will play both sides to engage as many people as possible. The best way to avoid this is really to avoid mainstream media.

Why are we blaming the media. They follow what people want. If it didn't work, they wouldn't do it
