That's a relief. Now, if the media could just stop misinforming the people....@Mardox

We're talking about a business outlet here in a world of congestive, competitive information access. The more click-bait you get the more hits you get which drives up site-side ad revenue which ups the bottom line, meaning more capital for the network or provider to cover basic costs and to fund additional adventures down the road to hopefully expand or improve their overall presence in an over-crowded field.

If you want to change the way any media handles anything you need a total system overhaul or else news coverage no longer becomes a viable business and I can't predict what'd happen when it all shuts down when you try to force and enforce some sort of choke on "extreme" or unwarranted content. At best in the states the federal government would probably get attacked for denying the constitutional right of free press.

The internet indirectly encourages everyone to report their opinions and news more openly by providing open resources like free blogging sites and YouTube. You're no longer strictly constrained to the costs of maintaining and operating a radio broadcast station, a news paper printer, or a television station (and in two of these three circumstances having to buy the rights to broadcast at a desired frequency) which means more can do it. And with more doing it the market becomes crowded so either you get yourself into a niche field to survive or you belt out extreme horse-shit to be heard over everyone else. But while this is true as consumers of media we have more democratic power to pick and choose. We're not locked by cable providers to having to pick between ABC, CNBC, and Fox any longer; we can go online and read/watch CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera, Der Spiegal, and Anita Sarkesian's blog. It's also of course how the later manage to survive, but it's to be expected.

Actively seeking out some form of censorship or another a good solution does not make as you're seeming to imply, and by doing so you're not advocating anything better than the so-called SJW bogyman you or anyone else is afraid of. And as Vilage has said these groups are restrained to pretty small groups themselves. The popular front of society is more apt to feel accomplished at the achievement of the minimum-goal than the whole thing.
