Sadly with mainstream websites there are more than likely a lot of bot accounts who just leave ridiculous comments and stir up controversy. It’s far easier to control people via outrage and emotion than it is anything else. It sounds like this was a planted article to just fuck with people unfortunately. It did it’s job, that’s for sure..
The media is absolutely just a cesspool of poison and vitriol. It’s a shame but to the above comment, it’s far and above used to control people as a weapon of psychological warfare. It’s sad but completely true.
Oh, absolutely! What’s even worse is that so many people don’t even see it happening—they’re caught up in the outrage without realizing they’re being manipulated. The media stirs the pot, and people eat it up. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if it’s all orchestrated from higher up, pulling the strings behind the scenes. It’s like a puppet show, and most of the audience has no clue they’re being played. It is psychological warfare at its finest, sadly.
