   I used to think the problem was that Twitter and its algorithms, which----like Facebook and Fox--incentivize material that evokes strong emotions (like rage and cheering for "our side").

   I now think the problem is that news has become an entertainment industry that relies on evoking strong emotions.

   Adding a comment: "Why not both?"
