You (*) throw lots of different slanted messages out there - and why not? It's free! (Unlike TV ads)

The ones that resonate with the masses, as judged by retweets and followers, are the ones you push further.

A new topic comes up? Easy, new slant, new dose of media poison, etc. Fruitful process! Never stops!

*GASP* What happens if people catch on they are being played and leave Face(less)Book and Twitcher, see what is been going on, and don't come back? Oh NO!

But this should not be a surprise, surely? 'Unregulated media' means it sinks to the lowest common denominator. Always!

(*) 'You' being trolls, stirrers, evil foreigners, axe grinders, Chief_Malcontent_in_the_WH, etc.
