1. All of those are bad news 
2. I already said why it was problematic in my first post, meaning there is nothing to really discuss about those things. 
3. 'Right' and 'wrong' pertains to us users disagreeing with one another, and there'd be no disagreement up there other than Harbinger and perhaps MDK disagreeing that Trump's statements on Haiti were either real or distasteful.

I wasn't implying snowstorms or the things mentioned were good. :P That idiom refers to the idea that if nothing is heard, you assume nothing is wrong. The news loves the dramatic, so if a Florida man drowned a puppy, you'd best believe the news would be covering it.

I guess I didn't see your first post's explanation. (could of thrown me a bone and quoted it if that's the case.) But you also can't say that's all that's happened in current events, there's plenty of other topics. Though what you stated, was you aren't sure if anything covered in the news anymore had any nuances. Everything the news talks about now, is stuff that -should- be clear good vs bad. And that itself is a problem? (at least that's how the statement you made could be interpreted.)

But the news media never portrayed stories with a gray lens, unless it was actively covering up evil acts. And they've had the same problems of repeating stories, covering a bunch of useless fluff or heavy dramatization. So I don't know what's changed about the news, aside from they're now taken less seriously. Which considering how often their outright wrong. I don't get the problematic angle.

The thing just mentioned about SJW's. My question, is everyone (in the political activist sphere that used to discuss the problems of SJW culture) is now trying to seemingly go a route of purely respectful discourse and disregarding mocking. Basically downplaying how destructive and cancerous they've been as a whole. Like the whole movement has been swept up and disappeared. Or seem to think outrage culture, is no longer a relevant problem. Has all the drama really died down?

Why did H&M have a protester riot group destroy and loot all their stores in South Africa? Other than identity politics?

Doesn't really seem like the "outrage" problem will go away anytime soon...
