    Considering he's leading the way on creating conflict content, he's a big part of the problem.
    Concentration is a concern, but so is the creation of conflict.

    What exactly would be 'conflict content'?

    Where people are out in the street, yelling, making threats, putting down someone else, name calling, and on and on.

    Factual information is available to those who seek it. If the public allows itself to be duped by the media it's the fault of the public. Which is not to say a large number of people have not been duped. Clearly they have.

    This probably wouldn't do much for what you're referring to, but, I think there should be rule that media cannot endorse any political candidates. Even at that they would still influence elections in other ways.
