I like you, and I'm glad we could have a nice discussion today. I hope people are aware how alternative media and even social media is coded and programmed to produce anger. Anger is shown to increase engagement on a site by 2-3 times. This was something that NBC learned back in the 80's with the Howard Stearn Show, so it's not a new concept.

When the equal time provision in broadcasting was discarded by the Supreme Court in the late 1980's, it opened the floodgates for commentary and opinion cloaked as "news."

If your source of information often makes you angry, it's possible you are being manipulated into anger for profit. Facebook mints money on this principal, as do cable news and alternative news networks.
