Mass Media Morality

I really despise how the mass media collectively decides what is and isn’t okay for people, schools, governments, etc to be doing/saying. As a journalism major who has studied some communication, these widespread internet campaigns for what the collective mass deems acceptable are scarily turning into a Groupthink epidemic. A good recent example is the Kanye/Trump “controversy”; look what happens when someone doesn’t adhere to the group ideology. All Kanye said was that Trump is a human too and that he has a love for all humans, but the collective has labeled Trump a “fascist, racist, misogynistic, and idiotic dictator” so Kanye is clearly mentally ill/being whitewashed. Truly scary how quickly the collective can turn on someone for saying something as simple as having love for everyone despite their flaws.
