Because people are inundated with the "News" at every second. Open your phone, tablet, laptop, TV, Radio and It's in your face at every second. Social media tailors' ads and recommends people and groups to follow. Algorithms recommend channels and shows just for you.
I pray for a solar flare event on a massive scale that wipes out technology and sends us into a ThunderDome social construct where I feast on the soft underbelly of the weak and helpless tech zombies; lost in a world that dictates fending for oneself cruelly and violently, where rat meat is a delicacy afforded by those who lack empathy and are willing to cast souls aside like a used napkin...
okay, that got a bit out of hand. Carry on!
