I'm a big fan of social media for all sorts of rah-rah egalitarian reasons, but for all its rich treasures you can never quite get rid of the sewage stank coming from the dark corners. It's a macro version of us, in all our wise, noble, kind, hateful, selfish and horny glory.Journalism, social media and broadcast media at large, same modus operandi.
As the great Jimmy Breslin once said: the message of TV, is to watch more TV.
