Western media has become totally detached from reality. They are always going for the cheap doom & gloom, because fear sells. They are drifting from information to pure entertainment, with no accountability. This is our main challenge for this decade.
Note how the media tends to always be critical of moderates (booooring!), inadvertently sponsor populists (exciting! Outrageous!) then when people switch to populists/extremists because of that the media start scaremongering (OMG democracy at risk! No shit, Sherlock!?). Insane.
The media were the watchdogs of democracy, but they are now so committed to profit and private interests that they can barely perform their duty. There's a general lack of morals in the media, profit over principles, and no accountability whatsoever. We have to fix this.
