"The media sources you cite, Reg, fully understand the psychology of their audience. Their news stories toggle between FEAR and OUTRAGE/ANGER."

They do, I guess that I just did not think...or hoped...they would never rise to this level of yelling fire in a crowded theater...when there is no fire.

It's quite the con they are running at this point and even their own employees are often saying "We've gone to far. This is insane."

Well, arm them, anger them, enrage them...fill their heads with nonsense...then turn them loose on each other. Kill, kill, kill.

This is not the kind of story with a happy ending.
