I also think social media provides a useful smoke screen for the rich and powerful in a similar way. It keeps you so bogged down with bullshit non-news and irritated with each other because of your slightly different viewpoints on it that you miss the big issues of the day and people can get away with larger and larger crimes and corruption without consequence.
